Real Madrid reportedly considers Napoli striker Victor Osimhen as a potential replacement for Vinicius Junior amid speculation about the Brazilian’s possible move to the Saudi Pro League.
Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has scored 28 goals and provided five assists in 32 matches across all competitions this season. His impressive performances have attracted the attention of several top European clubs, including Real Madrid.
Despite a recent dip in form, Vinicius Junior remains a key player for Real Madrid. However, reports suggest that the Saudi Pro League plans to offer a world-record fee exceeding €300 million to acquire him, with Vinicius potentially earning €200 million per season over a five-year contract.
Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti addressed rumors linking Osimhen to the club, stating, “Osimhen is one of the best strikers in Europe, but we never thought about him.” He added that Jude Bellingham’s arrival aimed to compensate for Karim Benzema’s departure.
Despite Ancelotti’s comments, persistent rumors and substantial financial incentives from the Saudi Pro League suggest that Real Madrid will face significant decisions regarding their attacking lineup in the upcoming transfer window.
