Real Madrid is set to prioritize the signing of Manchester City striker Erling Haaland if Vinícius Junior decides to leave the club for Saudi Arabia, according to reports from Sky Sports and Diario Sport. This potential transfer scenario comes amid ongoing negotiations for Vinícius Junior's contract renewal with Real Madrid, despite interest from the Saudi league. Vinícius Junior has been a target for Saudi clubs, with recent attempts to lure him away from Real Madrid. Should he depart, the financial windfall from his transfer could enable Real Madrid to pursue Haaland, a long-term target for club president Florentino Pérez. Haaland signed a long-term contract with Manchester City until June 2034, with potential exit clauses that could be activated from 2029. Journalist Florian Plettenberg from Sky Sports Germany has highlighted these developments. Vinícius Junior has been active on Instagram, posting messages that suggest anticipation for an upcoming event, hinting at a possible announcement or match, with posts such as 'The Bernabéu, again' and 'Tomorrow. 9 PM.' Real Madrid's interest in Haaland remains strong, despite his commitment to Manchester City and the influence of coach Pep Guardiola.
