Real Madrid Transfer News and Rumors

The saga around Vinicius Jr. and a new contract continues, and the Real Madrid hierarchy has issued an ultimatum.

Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are interested in the Brazilian, as are Saudi Arabian clubs. - Fichajes

In another report, the Spanish club are looking at a swap deal with Manchester City, with Vini Jr heading to join Pep Guardiola and Los Blancos bringing in Jeremy Doku. Florentino Perez is a huge admirer of the Belgian winger and was impressed with his performance at the Bernabeu on December 10. - Fichajes

Bundesliga side VfB Stuttgart is reportedly very interested in Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Garcia. The 21-year-old is seen as a dream signing for the club in 2026, but a deal could be tough to make. Xabi Alonso clearly likes the player, but could bring in a big figure if they do sell. Leeds United and other Premier League clubs are also interested. - Florian Plettenberg

🚨🆕 Gonzalo #Garcia is the dream candidate for VfB Stuttgart for the upcoming transfer windows.

Garcia meets almost all of the criteria that #VfB have in mind. There have also been talks. However, a transfer that VfB are pursuing appears very, very difficult to realise.… pic.twitter.com/k0HmiqbVv4
