Real Madrid considering Haaland as Vinicius Jr replacement

Real Madrid may soon be closing the chapter on Vinicius Junior. According to Cadena SER, the Madrid club has already identified the perfect successor: Erling Haaland.

Negotiations between Real and Vinicius over a contract extension have reportedly stalled. The Brazilian's agent is demanding a salary on par with Kylian Mbappé, complicating the talks. At the same time, several Saudi clubs are said to be preparing offers in the region of €250 million to lure the Madrid winger.

Given this situation, Real Madrid are seriously considering Haaland—currently under contract with Manchester City until 2034—as a potential replacement. The Spanish club is monitoring the situation closely, well aware that a move for the Norwegian striker could be a game-changer for the future of the Merengues' attack.
