Vinícius Júnior still hasn't renewed, and Florentino Pérez already knows which signing will replace him.

The uncertainty about Vinícius's future opens the door to a move by Florentino Pérez at Real Madrid

Vinícius Júnior's contract renewal remains one of the most talked-about topics at Real Madrid in recent weeks. His current contract is progressing without firm advances in negotiations. This situation has caused concern among Madridist supporters and the board.

Florentino Pérez considers Vini's continuity a priority, but he doesn't rule out alternative scenarios if negotiations don't reach a successful conclusion. Real Madrid has shown in the past that it knows how to anticipate these problems. That's why it's already analyzing replacement options in case of an unexpected departure.

Vinícius and the uncertainty at Real Madrid

The possibility that Vinícius Júnior won't extend his contract has set off alarms in the Madridist environment. The lack of agreement keeps the star in a delicate position. Florentino understands that these types of negotiations require calm, although the pressure is increasing.

The Brazilian is considered an offensive reference, but the club doesn't want to depend on a single figure. That's why international-level alternatives are being considered. Florentino Pérez knows that long-term projects must be kept on several solid pillars.

The desired replacement is already in mind

In Real Madrid's offices, a name is being mentioned that represents youth, physical power, and goal-scoring effectiveness. It's a profile that would fit perfectly into the sporting model. Florentino has been following his progress with great interest for some time.

That replacement is none other than Erling Haaland, currently under contract until 2034 at Manchester City. The Norwegian forward is considered one of the most decisive strikers in the world. His arrival would have an immediate impact at Real Madrid and on the international stage.

Florentino and the Haaland operation

The Madridist president knows it's not a simple operation, but he has shown experience in major signings. The idea of approaching Haaland isn't new at the Madrid entity. Florentino believes that his addition would ensure a top-level replacement for Vinícius.

Moreover, Haaland has shown that he's capable of leading on the most demanding stages. His goal-scoring ability makes him a unique piece. That's why Florentino considers that he deserves any economic and strategic effort.

Haaland and Real Madrid's project

Real Madrid seeks to consolidate an ambitious project that will allow it to compete at the highest level in Europe over the next decade. Haaland would fit as the offensive reference that guarantees continuity to the Madridist legacy. His youth and talent make him the perfect replacement in case Vinícius doesn't stay.

Florentino Pérez has already begun to design future scenarios. Everything will depend on the Brazilian's final decision regarding his renewal. Meanwhile, Haaland remains the dream that could become a Madridist reality.
