It's a case that has become even more heated in recent days. As revealed by the Spanish press earlier this week , Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid are very far from finding common ground for the player's contract extension, whose contract in Madrid expires in 2027. At the same time, the Saudi threat remains. While a departure this summer is not necessarily the most likely option at the moment, this saga is starting to annoy the Merengues and put them in a weak position, especially next summer when a drastic decision would have to be made if there is no agreement by then.
You are no doubt aware that the differences between the two parties are mainly financial, but not only that, since it is also a question of ego and hierarchy in the locker room. The Brazilian wants to be paid as much as Kylian Mbappé, if not more, and the management led by Florentino Pérez has no intention of offering such emoluments to the former Flamengo player. For Real Madrid, the Bondynois is number 1 and he should logically be the highest paid player in the team.
A dream duo
And according to Cadena SER , Real Madrid is already planning for the future in case the Canarinha star packs his bags. As explained above, it wouldn't necessarily be this summer, but if there is no agreement by 2026, everything indicates that Vinicius Jr will be sold with one year left on his contract. Florentino Pérez already knows who to recruit to replace him, and it's none other than Manchester City striker Erling Haaland. The Real Madrid boss has always dreamed of teaming Mbappé with the Norwegian cyborg, and Vinicius Jr's departure would be the perfect opportunity to do so.
Money would not be an issue in this case, since the amount recovered from the Brazilian's sale would be substantial, and Erling Haaland has that famous exit clause for non-English clubs, which is said to amount to around 200 million euros according to several media outlets. Moreover, he has always dreamed of playing in Spain. To be continued.
