Liverpool eye blockbuster move for Real Madrid superstar as free agent in 2027 – report
Uncertainty over Vinicius Jr.’s future at Real Madrid is beginning to attract attention across Europe, with Liverpool emerging as one of the clubs monitoring developments surrounding the Brazilian’s contract.
According to Ramon Alvarez de Mon, the Premier League side has shown genuine interest in the winger and is keeping a close eye on how negotiations over his renewal unfold over the coming months.
While there is no suggestion that a move is imminent, Liverpool view 2027 as the most realistic opportunity should the forward fail to agree fresh terms at the Santiago Bernabeu.
For now, the feeling within the club is that Real Madrid want to keep the Brazilian, and Vinicius has also publicly expressed his desire to continue at the club.
However, discussions over a new deal have lost momentum, leaving enough uncertainty for rival clubs to begin assessing the situation.
Salary gap delays breakthrough in negotiations
The biggest obstacle remains the financial terms of a new contract.
Real Madrid and Vinicius’ representatives are still some distance apart in their valuations, with several million euros separating the two sides.
Until that gap narrows, there appears to be little chance of negotiations moving forward in a meaningful way.
The report adds that the player’s camp does not believe further meetings will achieve much unless the club returns with an improved proposal. As things stand, therefore, neither party is rushing towards a compromise.
Notably, though, that does not mean a renewal is off the table. Those close to the situation believe the picture could change during the season as performances, results and the player’s role within the squad all influence future discussions.
For now, the contract remains one of the biggest unresolved issues facing Real Madrid.
Liverpool see an opportunity
While talks remain on hold, Vinicius’ representatives have explored the level of interest from other clubs as part of their long-term planning.
Liverpool are among those who have made their admiration clear, but their focus is on 2027 rather than this summer.
Waiting until the current contract runs down would make any deal significantly easier to finance, avoiding the enormous transfer fee that would almost certainly be required before then.
With just a year remaining on the contract, pressure is growing on Real Madrid.
Even so, if the negotiations remain unresolved, more questions will be asked about Vinicius’ future.
According to TeamTalk, Real Madrid have joined the growing list of clubs monitoring Gabriel Rajkovic, a 15-year-old winger whose rapid development at Valerenga has already attracted attention from several of Europe’s leading sides.
The Merengues are known for keeping an eye on exciting young talent across the globe and it seems that Rajkovic’s exploits in Norway, with the first team, have alerted them.
Real Madrid keeping tabs on Rajkovic
As per the report, Real Madrid are among a host of clubs closely following the progress of the young forward.
Rajkovic holds both Norwegian and Serbian nationality and has emerged as one of the most promising young players in Norway.
His development has not gone unnoticed, with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund also understood to be monitoring him.
However, at this point, it is Arsenal and Chelsea, who are understood to be leading the charge for Rajkovic, having compiled a detailed dossier on the teenage prodigy after extensive scouting.
On top of that, the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have all watched Rajkovic in recent weeks.
Real Madrid could therefore face significant competition if they decide to step up their interest in a player who has already made an impression at senior level.
Making an impact at just 15
Rajkovic was handed a promotion to the Valerenga first-team squad in January earlier this year, when he was only 14 years old.
Following that, he signed a new contract with the club in March, when he turned 15, committing to the club until 2028.
Despite being only 15, the winger has already begun gaining experience in first-team football. In all, he has made 14 senior appearances for the Norwegian outfit, scoring three and assisting one goal.
Rajkovic has also represented Norway Under-16s, making two appearances and scoring once despite being younger than many of his teammates.
Those numbers become more impressive when his age and stage of development are taken into account.
Real Madrid have built a reputation for identifying young talent well before players reach their peak, and Rajkovic has now emerged as another name on their scouting radar.
But given the number of clubs in the race, signing the teenage wonderkid will not be easy.
