Vinicius at Real Madrid, is it almost over? This is a hypothesis that is gaining more and more momentum. Less efficient last season with the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, the 25-year-old Brazilian winger is having a complicated start to the 2025-2026 financial year.
In addition to his disappointing performances, the former Flamengo prodigy does not have an idyllic relationship with his new coach Xabi Alonso. It must be said that the Spanish technician does not hesitate to regularly put his number 7 on the substitutes' bench.
And to make matters worse, negotiations regarding his contract extension, which currently runs until June 2027, are at a standstill. “Vini” would demand 25 million euros net per year for five seasons. An amount that the White House would not be ready to pay, which would have stopped the discussions.
Mbappé and Haaland reunited next season?
Therefore, a departure next summer for the Brazilian cannot be ruled out. A boon for Saudi Arabia, which dreams of acquiring the Madrid star. And she will not hesitate to pay the price to achieve her goals. For their part, the Merengue decision-makers have already targeted his successor: Erling Haaland.
“ At Real Madrid, we started to think that a sale to Saudi Arabia could reunite Mbappé and Haaland. Vini's clause amounts to a billion, but Madrid could accept a future sale of around 250 million euros »Pacojo said in the SER Deportivos show. As a reminder, the Norwegian serial scorer is linked to Manchester City until June 2034.
