Real Madrid have already identified Vinicius Junior's replacement as contract talks with the Brazilian winger have stalled. Vini Jr. still has two years left on his existing deal and is demanding a wage hike to sign a new contract. In case the Selecao star leaves the club, amid interest from Saudi Arabia, Los Blancos will go after Premier League star Erling Haaland.
Real Madrid are ready to offload five players before summer transfer window closes on September 1 to maintain the 25-member squad for the 2025-26 campaign. The list of five players include Brazilian winger Rodrygo, who has been linked with a move away from Santiago Bernabeu throughout the summer, amid strong interest from Arsenal and Liverpool.
Real Madrid are not reportedly giving up on William Saliba as Los Blancos prepare a delegation to negotiate with Arsenal for the French defender. Xabi Alonso's focus has shifted as concerns grow over their current defensive depth, following a troubling display against Paris Saint-Germain in New Jersey during the Club World Cup.
Former Premier League star Jason McAteer has raised concerns over the mental well-being of England internationals Jude Bellingham and Jack Grealish, warning that the current level of scrutiny placed on elite footballers is unsustainable without adequate psychological support. With growing public expectations and underwhelming outings in an England shirt, both players have faced a storm of negative attention in recent months.
Ex-Arsenal striker Jeremie Aliadiere says Kylian Mbappe is the "best player in the world" but thinks his "ego must be hurt" after watching his former club Paris Saint-Germain win the Champions League last season. Luis Enrique helped the Ligue 1 giants win their maiden European title just a year after the France captain left for Real Madrid as a free agent.
Tottenham chief Daniel Levy is looking to exploit his "good relationship" with Real Madrid to sign Rodrygo this summer. Spurs are the latest club to join the transfer race for the Brazilian alongside Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Arsenal. Rodrygo, though, will make a decision on his future only after a discussion with Real boss Xabi Alonso.
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe is reportedly on the verge of taking over the famed No. 10 shirt as the club gears up for the 2025–26 season. After his first year in the Spanish capital, the 26-year-old appears set to trade his current No. 9 shirt - previously worn by the likes of Karim Benzema - for the number vacated by club legend Luka Modric, according to MARCA.
