Real Madrid identify Super Eagles Star as potential Vinicius Jr's replacement
Saudi Arabia's interest in Real Madrid Brazilian star Vinicius Jr isn't a shock following recent links which first emerged in the summer and they are prepared to make a mega bid for his signature according to reports.
Los Blancos are reportedly willing to let him go with Super Eagles star Ademola Lookman touted as possible replacement, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
In a stunning development, Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal are reportedly preparing a staggering £252 million bid to lure Real Madrid's Brazilian sensation with Real Madrid eyeing Atalanta's Ademola Lookman as a potential replacement.
This would surpass Neymar's record-breaking transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. Interestingly, Vinicius could replace Neymar at Al-Hilal, as the latter's future with the club is uncertain and a potential departure is being considered.
Real Madrid have already identified their potential replacement for Vinicius Junior, should he depart for Al-Hilal. According to Fichajes, the Spanish giants are interested in Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman.
The Serie A star's impressive performances have caught Real Madrid's eye, and they believe he could be a valuable addition to their attacking lineup.
With Atalanta valuing Lookman at around €60 million, Real Madrid would still have a significant portion of the funds from Vinicius's potential sale to invest in other targets.
