Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has naturally built the team around the Norwegian superstar Erling Braut Haaland.

After a period of uncertainty about the future of Vinicius Junior, who finished second in last season’s Ballon d’Or poll, Real Madrid have decided to build the team around him and Kylian Mbappe, and there is no room for another super striker.
“there can only be one”
After Saudi Arabia promised Vinicius Junior a hysterical €1 billion over five years, Real Madrid have coughed up a new proposal that will make the 24-year-old left winger the highest paid at Real Madrid. The Spanish capital club was also offered to sell for 300 million euros, 100 million euros above what Transfermarkt believes the value is.

Waiting for the final signing, which will happen when the league is over and before the Club World Cup, the white club emphasizes that the Brazilian is one of the cornerstones of the sporting project, along with Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham.

With this new contract, according to the newspaper AS, Vinicius will earn around 20 million euros net per season, surpassing even Mbappé’s salary, whose base salary is lower (but compensated with a signing bonus of 150 million euros). In addition, there are performance-based bonuses and individual awards, such as the Ballon d’Or or The Best, which have already given him extra income in the past.
Since joining the club as just 17 years old, Vinicius has been an example of continuous development. His rise has been explosive, and Real Madrid have always believed in his potential. Despite staggering offers from other leagues, including a huge offer from Saudi Arabia, the Brazilian has chosen to continue making history at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Madrid not only secures a global star, but also sends a clear message: their project centers around young, talented and committed players like Vinicius – the new top salary winner in the dressing room.
This has made Erling Braut Haaland really reconsider his plans for Real Madrid. In fact, he is now going for Barcelona, it should also fit better with what he has “learned” under former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola in the last three years at Manchester City,
