SHOCK: REAL MADRID OFFICIALLY SETS €150M PRICE TAG AS VINICIUS JUNIOR CONTRACT TALKS COLLAPSE
Real Madrid may sell Vinicius Junior for €150M after contract talks fail and fans boo the star at the Bernabeu.
Word is, Real Madrid might sell Vinicius Junior if he demands a crazy contract like Mbappe or Messi. They don't think he's worth that much, so they might ship him off—especially since Saudi Pro League teams are interested. The club thinks no player is bigger than them.
Vinicius's contract: When does it end?
Big bucks: Is Vinicius worth Messi/Mbappe money?
Ex-Real striker Predrag Mijatovic has been critical of Vinicius. He told Carrusel Deportivo that if Vinicius wants the same deal as Mbappé or Messi, he clearly wants out. If he wants to stay and run down his contract, fine.
Mijatovic said that the club is more important than any player, and everyone needs to get that Madrid will keep winning with or without Vinicius.
He added that Real Madrid always has to be bigger than any player.
If Vinicius doesn't renew, Real Madrid should sell him. The club just can't let players or their agents control things.
Saudi Pro League: Will Vinicius move there?
Teams might start sniffing around Vinicius next year if he and Madrid can't agree on a deal. The Saudi Arabian teams are expected to be at the front of the line.
Omar Mugharbel, head of the Saudi Pro League, previously told Marca they've been interested in Vinicius for a while, and it's just a matter of time and talks.
He added that foreign players have always been part of Saudi teams. The number of foreign players allowed has changed over the years, and right now it's eight plus two under-21.
Bringing in outside players to make the league more exciting has always been part of the plan. What's changed is the quality of players coming, with guys like Benzema making a big splash.
Boo birds: Vinicius jeered by Real fans
Vinicius is currently in Dubai, having taken a trip after Real reached their winter break. He jetted out of Spain right after his own fans booed him during a 2-0 win against Sevilla, where he was subbed off.
This season, he's only got five goals and eight assists in 24 games. With the home crowd turning on him, the rumours about him leaving have heated up. Now he is being considered more expendable with Mbappe in Madrid, while guys like Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo fill support roles.
WHY AC MILAN ARE TURNING TO REAL MADRID’S BACKUP ANDRIY LUNIN TO REPLACE MIKE MAIGNAN
AC Milan is preparing a €15M bid for Andriy Lunin. Discover why the Real Madrid keeper is now the favourite to take over at San Siro.
AC Milan might go after Andriy Lunin from Real Madrid this summer, according to Defensa Central. Apparently, Milan is having trouble getting Mike Maignan to sign a new contract.
So, Lunin is high on their list as a possible replacement. He did sign a deal to stay with Real Madrid until 2030, but Milan is still watching him while things with Maignan are up in the air.
Reportedly, Milan gave Maignan a final offer of €7 million per season, but he's not sure about it. Because of this, the club is now scouting for other options.
If Maignan leaves, Milan's bosses plan to offer between €10 million and €15 million for Lunin. They think that's a fair price for a keeper with his experience.
Real Madrid usually doesn't do winter transfers. The club has already said they won't sell anyone in January, except for loaning Endrick to Lyon. So, they won't even think about a deal for Lunin until the season is over.
Lunin turned down offers from Turkish clubs last summer to compete for his spot at Real Madrid. The chance to start every week at Milan could change his mind. At 26, he's currently Courtois' backup. A move in 2026 could give him the playing time he wants. Manchester United was also interested in Lunin last summer, so there'll be plenty of teams after him.
Why Real Madrid Should Ask for More or Keep Lunin
Lunin showed what he's capable of when he filled in for Courtois. He has the skills to play at the highest level. He saved Real Madrid many times, including in important Champions League games. Because of his input, his value has increased.
The rumoured price of €10 million to €15 million seems too low. Lunin was key to Real Madrid's defence for most of the 2023/24 season. Real Madrid should ask for way more if they decide to sell. If not, they should keep him as a backup in case Courtois gets hurt again.
Selling him for that little would be a mistake. It’s almost impossible to find another backup as good as him for that price these days. It's hard to keep a keeper who wants to be the number one, but Xabi Alonso thinks having a deep squad is very important.
Real Madrid needs to think about the money versus the risk on the field. Letting a talent like Lunin go for cheap would be a bad move. Madrid should keep him unless Milan makes a much better offer. Having two top-notch goalkeepers creates a sense of security that money can't often buy.
MARKET REPORT: WHY CHELSEA IS SUDDENLY THE FAVORITE TO RESIGN ANTONIO RüDIGER
Antonio Rüdiger is considering a shock return to Chelsea as Real Madrid pause contract talks. Read why Xabi Alonso is hesitant.
Word on the street is that Antonio Rudiger might head back to Chelsea. The Real Madrid player is thinking about coming back to the Premier League. His deal with Real Madrid runs out in 2026, and he hasn't agreed to a new one yet. There's talk he might leave next summer and maybe even team up with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia.
Contract Talks On Hold
Back in November, Marca said that Rudiger and Real Madrid started talking about a new contract, but those talks are on pause now. His current contract is up at the end of the season. They started talking months ago, threw some numbers around, and both sides seemed to want a deal.
But they stopped talking after Rudiger hurt his muscle in September. They decided it wasn't right to make a deal while he was getting better.
Back to Chelsea?
Rudiger played for Chelsea for five years, winning a Champions League title, before moving to Real Madrid in 2022. Now, he might go back to Chelsea. There are rumours that Chelsea wants him back next summer, according to Diario AS.
Also, Paris Saint-Germain is interested, and Galatasaray is watching what's happening with him in Madrid.
Besides Europe, he's also wanted in Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are thinking about trying to get him next year.
What Alonso Thinks
BILD said in October that Xabi Alonso, the Madrid boss, isn't totally sold on Rudiger. He thinks Rudiger has been getting injured too much and hasn't been playing consistently. Also, Dean Huijsen, who joined in the summer, has been playing great and has already won a starting spot. Huijsen and Eder Militao have been a solid pair in the back, but Militao got hurt recently.
Madrid Might Not Sign Two Defenders
Even with Rudiger's future up in the air, AS says that Madrid isn't looking to sign two defenders anymore. They were looking at Ibrahima Konate from Liverpool and Dayot Upamecano from Bayern Munich. Both of those guys might leave their clubs since they're in the last six months of their contracts.
There were reports that Real Madrid wasn't interested in Konate because he hadn't been playing well lately. They might still move next summer, but it probably won't be to Real Madrid.
Alonso's team plays Real Betis at home on January 4 after the winter break.
