Vinicius Jr. Considered as Potential Replacement for Salah, But Real Madrid’s Reluctance Remains

Vinicius Jr. has been included in a list of wingers being contemplated as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah if the Egyptian were to depart for Saudi Arabia, as reported by The Athletic. Salah’s future at Liverpool has been the subject of intense speculation, with Al Ittihad making a £150 million bid for the 31-year-old, which Liverpool promptly rejected.

While credible reports suggest that Saudi clubs may return with a larger offer, Liverpool might be tempted to sell given Salah’s age. In the event of his departure, Liverpool could have the resources and motivation to pursue another top winger, such as Vinicius.

However, The Athletic emphasizes that the likelihood of Real Madrid entertaining any offer for Vinicius Jr. is extremely low. The Brazilian winger has consistently expressed his desire to succeed at Real Madrid and become a club legend, making his departure highly unlikely.
