The '9' Real Madrid Will Sign if Vini or Rodrygo Leave, Florentino Has Decided
Real Madrid's Agenda Envisions the Arrival of Players to Resolve Practically Any Situation
Real Madrid will have quite a bit of work this upcoming summer thinking about the possible signings they will have to finalize. They know it at Bernabéu, where the management is already focused on several names that should strengthen the squad. But they also have to solve the future of other footballers whose future is currently hanging in the air.
Not only through the renewals of veterans like Lucas Vázquez or Luka Modric, contract extensions that are under discussion at the Valdebebas offices until the end of the season. They also need to be alert to other players who are attracting rumors about their possible departure. This is the case of Vinícius and Rodrygo Goes, who are the most representative and the ones causing the most concern.

While it is true that the '11' verdeamarelo has hinted that his goal is to continue wearing the white jersey, teams like PSG and Manchester City won't give up so easily. The same goes for Saudi Arabia, which aims to acquire both South American forwards by mid-2025. The multimillion-dollar offers received by the striker from Osasco haven't convinced him, unlike the saga starring his compatriot.
Vinícius remains alert to any movement that may occur within his sphere of influence. The merengue striker has reportedly spoken repeatedly with the white sports management to convey his salary demands in case of a renewal. Such proposals don't fit into the economic plans of the white board, where they hope the '7' Madridist reconsiders his options and returns with a reduced figure.
Real Madrid Chooses the Replacement in the Forward Line
The insistence of Saudi Arabia, however, considerably complicates any attempt to negotiate Vinícius Jr.'s renewal. Under this situation of maximum pressure, Real Madrid has decided to look for a 'plan B' for the departure of both wingers during the next summer market. The footballer chosen to replace them is causing a sensation in the European football elite.
If any of Real Madrid's forwards end up leaving this summer, the merengue bosses would bet on the arrival of Viktor Gyökeres. The current player of Sporting de Lisboa, according to the information from A Bola, is the main candidate. They indicate that the Swedish striker could leave the Portuguese discipline for a transfer of 75M euros.

That figure seems excessive for the white leadership, but the Madrid treasury could cover it without major problems. The transfer of Gyökeres would be finalized a few weeks after the departure of Vinícius or Rodrygo, so that transfer would be entirely allocated to the signing of Viktor Gyökeres. The Swedish striker would act as a direct replacement for the verdeamarelo footballer who would have left during the summer of 2025.
Such an arrangement, considering that Gyökeres is a natural center forward, would bring many changes to future tactical plans. Especially if Vinícius Jr., a left winger, decides to leave Real Madrid. Without the competition of the Brazilian striker, Kylian Mbappé could finally reclaim his usual position and aspire to urgently reconnect with the best version of himself from the left wing.
