Real Madrid’s Plan for Erling Haaland if Vini Jr Leaves
Real Madrid Eyeing Erling Haaland Transfer If Vinicius Junior Departs
Real Madrid is rumored to be considering a sensational transfer move for Erling Haaland in the event that Vinicius Junior leaves for Saudi Arabia in 2025. This potential double transfer deal has sparked interest among Los Blancos as they look to secure a Plan B should their Brazilian superstar depart.
Vinicius Junior’s Contract Situation
Vinicius Junior’s current contract with Real Madrid is set to expire in 2027. To prevent the risk of losing him on a free transfer from 2026 onwards, the club is eager to negotiate a new deal with him in the near future. However, negotiations have hit a roadblock due to Vinicius’ request for a wage increase that would make him the highest earner at the club, surpassing teammates Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
Speculations Surrounding Vinicius Junior’s Future
Despite the club’s efforts to retain Vinicius, rumors of a potential move to Saudi Arabia have persisted. Reports suggest that intermediaries representing Vinicius have engaged in discussions with Saudi Pro League representatives, with staggering contract offers and transfer fees being mentioned.
The Potential Erling Haaland Transfer
If Vinicius were to make the move to Saudi Arabia, Real Madrid is said to have set their sights on Erling Haaland as their primary target. Haaland recently signed a contract extension with Manchester City, but the absence of a release clause could complicate any potential transfer. Manchester City might demand a substantial fee, possibly in the range of €150-200m, to consider selling Haaland to a competitor.
As the transfer saga unfolds, Real Madrid fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome of negotiations with Vinicius Junior and the possibility of welcoming Erling Haaland to the Santiago Bernabeu.
