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.
