Contract renewal stalled! Serge: If Vinicius leaves, Haaland will be Real Madrid’s number one signing target

Hupu News on October 8th As Vinicius's contract renewal negotiations continue to stall, Real Madrid is quietly restarting the "Haaland Plan". According to Spanish media Radio Ser, if the Brazilian star's future cannot be resolved smoothly, the club's senior management has listed Manchester City forward Haaland as the primary transfer target.

Vinicius's current contract will expire in 2026, but he and his agency team hope to receive a salary level comparable to Mbappe after renewing the contract. Real Madrid took a cool stance on this request and temporarily shelved contract renewal negotiations. At the same time, sky-high offers from Saudi Arabia are also constantly tempting the Brazilian international.

If Real Madrid finally decides to release him, the transfer from Saudi Arabia will bring huge funds, which may also become the key to realizing Florentino's latest "Galactic Dream" - forming a dual-core striker of "Mbappe + Haaland".

According to the assumption, Haaland will serve as the center, while Mbappe will return to his best position on the left-this combination will allow Real Madrid's forward to achieve terrifying firepower.

However, signing Haaland is not easy. Manchester City just extended the Norwegian's contract until 2034 this summer and set a very high termination clause for him. But in Real Madrid's view, it was equally difficult to take Mbappe from Paris last year. Florentino still believes that the transfer is always possible.

As for Vinicius, the club has set the deadline for contract renewal in the summer of 2025. If no agreement is reached by then, Real Madrid prefers to sell him early rather than watch him leave the team for free in 2026.
