Real Madrid Has Chosen Vinícius's Replacement, a Signing That Seems Impossible

The Complicated Operation That Interests Real Madrid to Secure Vinícius Júnior's Replacement

Real Madrid has certain doubts to solve regarding the summer market this very summer. While it is true that the club's leaders have some certainties, they must face several sagas that would completely change the roadmap of the first team and the sports management.

One of the most pressing 'cases' is led by Vinícius Jr. The strong interest from Saudi Arabia in acquiring the '7' of Real Madrid means that the club's executives are fully focused on securing his renewal as soon as possible.

Worrisome Situation

The upcoming summer market is preparing to offer several surprises to various teams. While Real Madrid has multiple operations in mind, the future of Vinícius Júnior remains an enigma. Faced with constant offers from Saudi Arabia, the club has begun to consider the option of an impossible signing to have his replacement.

In the event of a possible departure of Vinícius Júnior, Real Madrid would seek to make the transfer of Julián Álvarez. The forward from Atlético de Madrid is having a sensational season, being the clear offensive reference for the colchoneros. However, due to the difficulty of winning titles, the player could be tempted to leave next summer.

A rather complicated situation, given that he just arrived last summer, but one that Real Madrid has not ruled out. Despite the clear rivalry between both Madrid clubs, the merengue team is alert to Julián's situation but, above all, to Vinícius.

Vinícius's Replacement

Having been part of Real Madrid since 2018, Vinícius Júnior is one of the club's biggest stars. Despite a poor start to this 2025, the Brazilian has 19 goals and 12 assists this season. Important numbers for a player who has always managed to make a difference in crucial matches.

However, despite past rejections, Saudi Arabia continues to work on an offer that is impossible to refuse. Real Madrid, aware of this interest, and despite Vinícius's contract until 2027, has begun to prepare to sign his replacement.

While the transfer of Julián is seen as something impossible, Vinícius's departure could make things easier. The Argentine, who has 23 goals and 5 assists this season, has been seen as a player with the ability to enhance the other merengue strikers.

Julián's Option

At 25 years old, Julián Álvarez is one of the great forwards in LaLiga and, of course, Atlético de Madrid. Although his contract is until 2030, Real Madrid continues to analyze a transfer that depends entirely on Vinícius.
