New Liverpool ownership group reportedly targets Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior | OneFootball

Although the new signings and departures are going to be the most interesting aspect of this summer transfer window for Real Madrid fans, another highly important operation that they will be engaged in will be the one for the renewal of their star forward Vinicius Junior.

The Brazilian star has only one year left on his current contract, and despite being engaged in negotiations for a protracted period of time, the player and the club have been unable to arrive at an agreement. Now, the two sides are expected to engage in what could be the final and decisive round of talks, as the World Cup 2026 has already ended.

The forward was able to rediscover his best form for Brazil in this tournament, and this is definitely going to impact the upcoming negotiations. While it remains to be seen how these negotiations will conclude, several other top European clubs are reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation.

While they are currently not interested in the Real Madrid star, Liverpool can turn out to be serious contenders for him in the coming weeks. A consortium led by Amit Bhatia, a British-Indian billionaire and former co-owner of QPR, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is looking to own part of the Merseyside club.

The hopeful owners are looking to make the Premier League side one of the very top clubs in Europe, at the same level as Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. For this purpose, Indykaila News reports that if they succeed in taking over at Liverpool, they will want to bring in top-tier talents, and have set their sights on Vinicius Junior.

Meanwhile, they also have Michael Olise in their sights, a player that has been strongly linked with Los Blancos for the last few weeks.

For now, it remains to be seen how this story will develop, but if Liverpool undergo this ownership change, this can mean another source of headache for Real Madrid.
