Real Madrid is considering Manchester City’s prolific striker Erling Haaland as a potential successor to Vinicius Junior, in the event the Brazilian winger opts for a move to a Saudi Arabian club.
For the past two years, Vinicius has been the subject of transfer rumors linking him to the Middle East. Despite ongoing contract talks with Real Madrid, no new agreement has been reached, leaving his future uncertain, even though he still has two years left on his current deal.
According to Marca, Vinicius’ role at the club has shifted since Xabi Alonso assumed the managerial position this summer. Alonso has not hesitated to sideline the forward in certain fixtures and has openly stated that he cannot promise a starting role in every match. At 25, Vinicius now faces a critical choice: either reduce his salary expectations or face the possibility of being transferred.
