Madrid’s famous “Real” club may face one of the biggest losses of the summer transfer window. The reason is that negotiations on extending the contract with one of the club’s main forwards, Vinicius Junior, have become complicated in recent times, reports Cadena SER.
According to the available information, Vinicius Junior’s current contract with “Real” runs until 2027. However, the Brazilian winger is ready to stay at the club for another three years, but only on one condition — his salary must be significantly increased. It is noted that he is demanding even higher wages than Kylian Mbappé, and this has become a serious financial problem for the Madrid side.
At the same time, there remains serious interest in Vinicius from the Saudi Arabian championship. Local clubs have offered him a record contract — 1 billion euros over five years — and negotiations are ongoing. This offer is regarded as one of the largest financial deals in the football world.
Real president Florentino Pérez, recognizing the seriousness of the situation, has already started working on alternative options. According to Cadena SER, Pérez put Manchester City’s Norwegian star Erling Haaland at the top of the list. The club’s management hopes to see him playing in attack alongside Kylian Mbappé. If this project comes to fruition, Real could become the new superteam of the next decade.
At the same time, the start of the new season will also be one of the key dates for Madridistas. “Real” will begin the new La Liga season on August 19 with a match against “Osasuna”. Big transfer news is expected at the club before this match.
The fate of Vinicius Junior, Real’s transfer strategy, and offers from Saudi Arabia are among the main topics exciting the football community this summer around the Madrid club.
