Real Madrid target Haaland as Vini replacement if he leaves for Saudi

Real Madrid have identified Erling Haaland as a potential replacement for Vinicius Junior, making the Manchester City striker a top target if the Brazilian opts to leave for Saudi Arabia.

Vinicius Jr has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League for nearly two years and has yet to commit to a new contract with Los Blancos, with just two years remaining on his current deal.

Marca reported last month that Vinicius Junior’s standing at Real Madrid has shifted since Xabi Alonso took charge this summer.0

The manager has closely monitored his performances, benching him in a few games and indicating that a starting spot is not guaranteed in every match.0

While the Brazilian has expressed his frustration to president Florentino Perez, he recognizes that the only way to regain his position is by returning to his previous form.

Real Madrid have been tracking the Norwegian goal machine since his time at Borussia Dortmund. The club is reportedly ready to make a major push for Haaland, although the City star would only consider a move if Vinicius Jr departs, as there is no way the trio of Haaland, Vinicius, and Kylian Mbapp9 would all fit into Xabi Alonso’s system.
