Real Madrid Could Sell Vinicius Júnior to Fund Signings of Luis Díaz, Rodri, and Konaté

Saudi giants eye €350M move for Brazilian star; Real prepares trio of reinforcements

Vinicius Júnior may be heading for a shock Real Madrid exit this summer, with Saudi Arabian powerhouse Al-Hilal reportedly preparing a mammoth €350 million offer. The Spanish giants are reluctant to part ways with the Brazilian winger, but sources indicate they won’t block his departure if he expresses a desire to leave.

€350M Sale Could Fund Three Major Signings

If the deal goes through, Real Madrid is already outlining plans to reinvest the funds into three top-tier signings: Luis Díaz, Rodri, and Ibrahima Konaté, according to reports from Defensa Central and Cadena SER.

With Xabi Alonso set to reshape the team for the 2025–26 season, the club is targeting reinforcements across attack, midfield, and defense specifically in the event Vinicius moves on.

Konaté and Rodri on Madrid’s Radar

At the back, Ibrahima Konaté is the primary defensive target. The Liverpool centre-back, whose contract is entering its final phase, could be available at a cut-price fee. Madrid sees him as an ideal complement to their backline and a long-term asset.

In midfield, the club’s dream signing remains Rodri, Manchester City’s anchoring maestro. Although a deal for the Spaniard would be difficult, Madrid are hopeful that his recent return from injury and City’s evolving midfield structure could open a window of opportunity.

Luis Díaz Lined Up as Vinicius Replacement

Up front, Luis Díaz is seen as the most natural replacement for Vinicius. The Colombian winger, who starred in Liverpool’s title-winning campaign with 17 goals and 5 assists in 50 matches, is also being pursued by Bayern Munich and Barcelona, but Real Madrid’s potential financial edge could be decisive.

Díaz has already agreed personal terms with Bayern, but no transfer has been finalized leaving the door open for Real Madrid to swoop in should Vinicius depart.

Enzo Fernández Also Monitored

In addition to the primary trio, Enzo Fernández of Chelsea is also under consideration. The Argentine midfielder, long admired by Florentino Pérez, has been tracked by Madrid since his River Plate days and could emerge as a surprise signing depending on the market.

Madrid Open but Not Desperate

While Real Madrid has no intention of actively selling Vinicius, they understand the commercial and sporting impact of a record-breaking €350M offer. As the transfer window unfolds, the decision now rests with the player, whose future could reshape the club’s trajectory heading into next season.
