If Vinicius Junior leaves the "Real Madrid" squad, the Madrid leadership will try to fill his place with a star of the highest level. This was reported by The Athletic.
Earlier, media reports indicated that Vinicius was interested in a significant financial offer from clubs in Saudi Arabia. Later, it was said that the player himself decided to stay in Madrid. However, those close to the Brazilian player also stated that there is currently no clear agreement to extend his contract with "Real".
According to the source, if the Brazilian winger decides to leave, "Real" president Florentino Perez will begin efforts to purchase the famous Norwegian striker Erling Haaland as his replacement.
Despite Erling Haaland recently extending his contract with "Manchester City" until 2034, the source writes that he may develop a desire to leave the club in the future. "Real" has been interested in Haaland for a long time and is considered a serious contender for him.
It is worth noting that there have been rumors about Erling Haaland potentially moving to "Real Madrid" before. However, at that time, the player chose "Manchester City" under Pep Guardiola instead of the Spanish giant. Currently, Haaland is considered one of the strongest strikers in Europe, and a significant amount is said to be required for his transfer.
