Real Madrid Prepares for the 'post Vinícius' Era With Two Galactic Signings

One of the sagas involving the white club for several weeks revolves around Vinícius Jr. The verdeamarelo footballer has been the focus of several Saudi Pro League teams since the summer of 2024, prompting the arrival of multimillion-dollar offers to the '7' merengue's circle. From the Valdebebas offices, according to Eduardo Inda, they have a very clear position regarding these transfer attempts.

The veteran journalist has revealed the contingency plan that the executives led by Florentino Pérez would have developed in case Vinícius decides to accept the offers from Saudi Arabia. While it is true that "officially they say that Vinícius will never leave", that certainty would not be as strong as in the past. "Some within the entity are beginning to admit that this could be a quite feasible hypothesis next summer", Inda understands.

Eduardo Inda also points out that "within the locker room at the moment, Vinícius doesn't have the best reputation with some of his teammates", something that would facilitate a possible departure from Real Madrid. "In the event that he could leave, if Vinícius were to go, he would leave a monstrous, brutal trail of money" that the white executives would seek to reinvest immediately in the transfer market.

Vinícius's transfer would be oriented around "300 and something million euros, some say 400" million. In any case, such an amount would allow a wide margin of maneuver for the merengue sports management. "With that brutal surplus of money, Real Madrid would want to make two operations", confirms Eduardo Inda on 'El Chiringuito de Jugones'.

Two for One

"One would be to cover that flank, on the wing, it would be Nico Williams". The arrival of the '10' from Athletic Club de Bilbao is not an unknown operation in the Valdebebas offices. Because the footballer from the Basque team was in the sights of the merengue bosses in the summer of 2023, when his arrival could have been forged as a free agent.

The presence of Rodrygo Goes or Vinícius himself, as well as the possibility of Kylian Mbappé joining the white locker room in the summer of 2024, ultimately ruled out this important signing. FC Barcelona approached the player half a year ago with undesirable results for the entity presided over by Joan Laporta. The inability of the Catalan team to sign the Spanish star would leave his arrival at the white club on a silver platter.

"And the other player, which I think is much more complicated, because he is the alma mater of the team he would come from, would be Rodrigo Hernández". The incorporation of the Spanish pivot would come as a response to Toni Kroos's retirement because "he is a player who is very much liked at Real Madrid". Eduardo Inda points out that "he is very much liked by Madrid fans, he is from Madrid and I think even originally, for all his life, he has been a Real Madrid fan".

The possibility of considerably strengthening the team with Vinícius's departure is a plan that remains in progress at Real Madrid. But the executives led by Florentino Pérez wish to avoid it at all costs, as the São Gonçalo striker is a piece they are not willing to give up easily.
