Real Madrid faces transfer dilemma: Vinícius vs. Rodrygo

According to Diario Sport, Real Madrid faces a tough decision—they may need to part ways with either Vinícius Júnior or Rodrygo in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Vinícius Júnior is demanding a new contract on par with Kylian Mbappé’s terms, while Saudi Pro League clubs remain interested. Meanwhile, several Premier League clubs are prepared to make Rodrygo their main star—a status he has yet to fully achieve at Madrid.

At the same time, Juventus hopes interim coach Igor Tudor can help showcase Dušan Vlahović to facilitate the transfer of the 25-year-old striker, with Manchester United and Arsenal among the interested clubs.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are both targeting AFC Bournemouth center-back Dean Huijsen. The 19-year-old recently played a key role in Spain’s penalty shootout victory over the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League.

Meanwhile, Liverpool is reportedly ready to spend over £60 million on Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni, seeing the 25-year-old Italian as Virgil van Dijk’s long-term successor.

Finally, Atlético Madrid has begun approaching Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur. Los Colchoneros have contacted the Uruguayan player’s camp, though discussions remain in the early stages.
