Real Madrid's forward line final goal: Put Vinícius Jr.'s contract renewal on hold and sell him, fully focus on signing Haaland

The market values of La Liga players have been updated, and Real Madrid's Brazilian duo has declined again. Vinícius Jr.'s value dropped by €20 million to €150 million, a 25% decrease this season, totaling a €50 million loss. Not only has Vinícius's value fallen, but his contract renewal with Real Madrid has also been put on hold.

According to the latest report from Spanish media Cadena SER, Real Madrid has completely halted contract renewal talks with Vinícius Jr. and is seriously considering selling the World Footballer of the Year. Meanwhile, they view Manchester City's Norwegian striker Haaland as the top target for their forward line reinforcement. Real Madrid's ultimate plan is to push Haaland forward and have Mbappé return to the left wing. If the Saudi Pro League offers a record-breaking bid for Vinícius, Real Madrid will activate the sale process. Currently, Mbappé is the club's number one, and Vinícius has become a secondary figure.

Real Madrid's plan to sell Vinícius Jr. is not baseless, as Vinícius demands a salary equal to Mbappé's. However, Vinícius's ability and image are not on the same level as Mbappé's, so Real Madrid will not offer him an equal salary. Vinícius and his agent seem unaware of this reality, making his sale inevitable. Vinícius will enter the final year of his contract after this season, making next summer the best opportunity for Real Madrid to sell him. If Manchester City loses its title-contending strength, Real Madrid will have enough appeal to convince Haaland to join the Bernabéu.
