Pep Guardiola "secretly" poached Real Madrid superstars? Be careful that Haaland is back-handedly bought by Real Madrid

This season, the new coach has created many opportunities for Real Madrid, especially after buying a lot of central defenders. Their performance is good. Mbappe's goals have guaranteed results and helped Real Madrid maintain their championship momentum in various competitions. However, it is not all smooth sailing for the Bernabeu. For example, Vinicius has caused quite a few conflicts on and off the court.

On the field, the issues between him and Xavi Alonso were made public during the El Clasico, but off the field, his team and Real Madrid's top management had irreconcilable differences when it came to contract renewal negotiations. This also led to the Brazilian's current situation at the Bernabeu not being too good. According to information given by a well-known transfer blogger, his personal team has communicated with Guardiola. Currently, Manchester City requires Vinicius not to renew his contract with Real Madrid. Even if the other party proposes a salary increase, they must not meet them. As long as they wait for the visa-free opportunity, Manchester City will quickly negotiate with him.

will not only promise him an independent tactical position, but also give him a satisfactory salary, which will at least be exactly the same as Mbappe's level. This is also the number that Vinicius and his team want very much.

Many professionals also said that there is indeed a lot of room for operation. At present, the contract between Vinicius and Real Madrid ends in the summer transfer window of 2027, which means that he will be eligible for a visa exemption by this time next year. If Manchester City can wait enough, then Vinicius will have a chance to join hands with Guardiola. For Vinicius, although he did not give a corresponding actual reply, this is indeed the basis and capital for dealing with Real Madrid.

However, Bernabeu has long stated that it will not accept the possibility of Vinicius leaving the team without a visa, and will not provide him with the same salary as Mbappe. In other words, there are only two options for the Brazilian, that is, to accept the contract extension, or to be sold before the visa-free date. I don’t know how Manchester City will think about this matter. Of course, what is more interesting is that if Vinicius joins Manchester City, Guardiola wants to make him into a new De Bruyne model.

But there are big differences in the game characteristics, styles and tactical characteristics of the two. I don’t know how Guardiola will adjust. In addition, Real Madrid is very interested in Haaland. If Guardiola really poaches Vinicius, I wonder if Real Madrid will in turn offer Haaland.
