Vinicius Ready For Sale, Real Madrid Reconnaissance Haaland

Vinicius Junior is still negotiating a contract extension with Real Madrid (Instagram/@realmadrid).

JAKARTA - Vinicius Junior wants to reach an agreement with Real Madrid regarding his contract extension.

However, Los Blancos insist that if there is no deal, they will sell it in 2026 and target Erling Haaland instead.

Launching Diario Sport, Vinicius' contract extension is still pending after violating the initial agreement reached with Real Madrid.

However, the player has taken a step back in an effort to find an agreement to ease tensions.

He already knew the club was not willing to pay him 25 million euros. The net he demanded for a five-year contract extension.

He has emphasized his stance and is considering selling it if it doesn't reach an agreement before next summer.

Real Madrid's plan is to transfer it even at a lower price and look for a replacement.

Erling Haaland has long been Florentino Perez's dream. His intention is to seek the recruitment of the Norwegian striker if he is willing to change clubs, which will make it easier for him to leave Manchester City.

Real Madrid's best asset now is Jude Bellingham, who has played with Haaland at Borussia Dortmund and is in good relations with him.

Salary Limit

According to El Debate, Real Madrid is offering Vinicius a maximum salary of 22 million euros, including a goal bonus.

This is the limit they offer. If he doesn't accept it, they will understand and will open the door for him to find a destination and a team that is willing to meet the financial demands he wants.

The player sought recognition to match his earnings with Mbappe. However, Los Blancos, as is known, did not spend 45 million euros on both star players.

Vinicius is not the first or last Galacticos to leave the team due to the club's unapproved financial demands.

Breaking the salary limit is not in Florentino Perez's plans, in the midst of a squad full of top players who will demand their performance to shine.

Real Madrid actually wants Vinicius to stay and will try to prevent him from leaving for free in 2027. He's the player needed, but not an irreplaceable player.

Haaland Is Difficult, But Not Impossible

The problem is, Haaland is very well marketed by Manchester City. Pep Guardiola also commented on the interest from Real Madrid.

"I don't think Erling was that stupid to sign a long contract he didn't want to fulfill."

"That's for sure. However, this is football, who knows what will happen. Nobody knows," said Guardiola a few days ago.

The Norwegian renewed his contract with Manchester City, signed a contract until 2034, until he turned 35.

His agent, Rafaela Pimienta, maintains good relations with Real Madrid. The first requirement he put forward for Haaland to join Real Madrid was Vinicius or Mbappe's departure.

In addition, they had to add an offer around the market value of 180 million euros. That amount of money could at least be obtained from Vinicius' sale.

This will be a difficult signing, but not impossible.
