Real Madrid identify two stars as possible successors if Vinicius departs

A recent report from SPORT has shed light on Real Madrid’s potential plans if Vinicius Jr. decides to leave the club.

It must be noted that while the Brazilian winger remains a key figure, Los Blancos have always operated under the principle that no player is irreplaceable—no matter how important they may seem.

At the heart of this situation is Vinicius’ demand for a significant salary increase. However, Florentino Perez is unlikely to bow to such demands, as maintaining financial discipline remains a priority for the club’s long-term sustainability.

Real Madrid will sell Vinicius if…
Vinicius is under contract until 2027, but there is an upcoming meeting scheduled for this summer to discuss a potential renewal.

Real Madrid would ideally like to extend his deal until 2029, but the sticking point remains his request for a substantial pay rise—something the club is unwilling to grant. T

he Brazilian is aware of lucrative offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia and could use that as leverage, but history has shown that negotiating with Perez is never an easy task.

Should Vinicius push for an exit, Real Madrid will not stand in his way—provided an offer of at least €250 million arrives.

The club would then reinvest that sum in securing a high-profile replacement to ensure the attack remains formidable. Two names have emerged as top candidates: Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams.
