The possible sale of Vinícius Junior could lead to an unexpected scenario at the Santiago Bernabéu: the signing of Erling Haaland. While the future of the Brazilian winger remains unresolved, the Real Madrid board is already considering top-level alternatives if a renewal agreement is not reached, as reported by Defensa Central. The name of the Manchester City forward has resurfaced, this time stronger than ever, as a possible heir to Vini's offensive prominence.
Negotiations to extend the Brazilian player's contract have stalled, and the club would not be willing to meet the financial demands of his camp, which have significantly raised his salary expectations. The club's stance from the presidency remains firm in not breaking the team's current financial structure, leading to an atmosphere of uncertainty that could result in a sale in the summer of 2026, with only one year left on his contract.
Real Madrid keeps an eye on Erling Haaland
In this context, Erling Haaland emerges as the main target to fill the void left by the white number 7. The Norwegian has been followed for years by the club, and although his signing would be costly, it is once again seen as strategic. Even though his release clause does not activate until 2029, Madrid believes it could negotiate with City before that date, especially if the player maintains his desire to wear white and play in LaLiga.
Florentino Pérez, who successfully brought Kylian Mbappé to the project, now dreams of also adding the Nordic goal-scorer. If the conditions are right and a substantial offer comes in for Vinícius, there would be no obstacle in going all out for Haaland, whose signing would be a show of strength in the European market.
