Real Madrid Sound Out Haaland as Contingency for Potential Vinicius Exit

City’s long contract keeps control with the Premier League champions, making any Madrid move a distant prospect.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report Real Madrid have contacted Erling Haaland’s camp to gauge a future transfer, with the latest pickup echoed by Madrid Universal from CaughtOffside.
  • The exploratory plan is linked to raising funds through a possible €250 million sale of Vinicius Junior to Saudi clubs, which remains uncertain.
  • Vinicius’ contract renewal talks have reportedly stalled, and reports suggest Madrid could entertain offers by 2026 if no agreement is reached.
  • Manchester City are described as unwilling to sell and Haaland is not pushing for a departure, tempering near-term expectations.
  • Haaland is contracted to City through 2034, indicating any deal would require an exceptional fee and a shift in the player’s position.
