Replace Vinicius! It is revealed that Real Madrid covets Haaland and is expected to sign him next summer window

On October 12, according to the transfer news website CaughtOffside, Real Madrid has contacted Haaland’s agency team to evaluate the possibility of the Manchester City forward joining the team in the 2026 summer window. Next summer, Real Madrid have the opportunity to sell Vinicius to a Saudi club for up to 250 million euros. By then, Real Madrid will have "huge" funds in hand, and they hope to introduce Haaland at the 9th position.

Although Guardiola's team's performance this season is not perfect, Haaland's state is shocking. The 25-year-old striker said he was in the best shape of his career after last weekend's 1-0 win away at Brentford. In 9 games of the new season, Haaland has scored 12 goals and was successfully elected as the Premier League Player of the Month for September.

Now, Haaland has broken another record, becoming the fastest player to score 50 goals in the history of the national team. He scored a hat-trick in Norway's game against Israel, reaching this milestone faster than Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and others. In his current form, Haaland is arguably the best player in the world.

At present, Manchester City has made it clear that it does not want to sell Haaland, and the Norwegian international has not pushed to leave the Etihad Stadium. However, transfer news website CaughtOffside reported that Real Madrid will not give up on pursuing Haaland. They hope that Haaland can form a dream strike partnership with Mbappe in Real Madrid.

At this stage, Manchester City has the absolute initiative: 25-year-old Haaland has just renewed his contract with the team until 2034. This means that if Real Madrid wants to poach people, they must offer sky-high prices, and the players themselves must also take the initiative to promote transfers and leave the team. At the moment, Haaland has no such thoughts. But in the next few months, it is worth paying attention to whether Real Madrid will use the "heart attack" method.

In addition, in order to complete this dream deal, Real Madrid must first sell Vinicius, and there are certain variables in this itself. Vinicius has not renewed his contract with Real Madrid, and his contract with Real Madrid will end in 2027. If Vinicius leaves the Bernabeu, Real Madrid will definitely need a major signing to fill the void.

Haaland's arrival will be extremely shocking. The Manchester City striker is now one of the top players in the world. Once the deal goes through, Real Madrid's tactical system will also be adjusted: the center position will be reserved for Haaland, while Mbappe will return to his best performing role as a left-sided attacker in Paris.
