Real Madrid may shift their focus to Victor Osimhen following Vinicius Jr.’s refusal to renew his contract with the club.
There are strong rumours suggesting that Real Madrid are prepared to spend up to €100 million for the Nigerian striker.
Since the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius’ performance has declined, yet despite this drop, he is demanding a stronger contract renewal.
While Mbappé has started every match this season, Vinicius has frequently found himself on the bench. Even when he starts, he is often subbed off before the 70th minute.
His frustration was especially evident during Real Madrid’s 2–1 win against Barcelona, where he reacted strongly after being taken off despite playing well.
It’s not just Vinicius; Gonçalo Garcia, Endrick, Rodrygo Goes, and Jude Bellingham have all recently voiced concerns about limited playing time.
Premier League sides such as Liverpool, Manchester United, and Arsenal are closely monitoring the situation.
Real Madrid, anticipating a possible departure, plan to bring Victor Osimhen into the squad and move Mbappé back to his natural position on the left wing.
The Spanish giants know the operation could exceed €100 million, but they believe the Nigerian star can make a major impact both on and off the pitch.
If Real Madrid manage to convince Osimhen, they could potentially secure the transfer for a more reasonable fee.
However, it is clear that Galatasaray will not easily let go of their star striker.
