Real Madrid Ready to Shell Out €120 million for Bukayo Saka

Spanish giants, Real Madrid are reportedly prepared to splash €120 million on Arsenal’s talented youngster, Bukayo Saka, as the club faces the very real possibility of losing one or both of their star wingers, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo, to the Premier League or Saudi Arabia.

According to sources close to the club, Real Madrid’s humiliating 5-1 aggregate defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League has sparked a major overhaul, with manager, Carlo Ancelotti’s future hanging in the balance.

Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso is rumored to be the top candidate to take the reins, but it’s the potential changes to the playing personnel that are making headlines.

Vinicius Jr, whose contract expires in 2027, has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, with reports suggesting that he has already rejected a staggering €1 billion offer from the Saudi Pro League. However, with Mohamed Salah committing his future to Liverpool, Vinicius has become the league’s number one transfer target.

The Brazilian winger is also believed to have received offers from Premier League clubs, further fueling speculation about his future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Meanwhile, Rodrygo, Vinicius,’ fellow Brazilian teammate, is reportedly being courted by Liverpool and Manchester City.

Despite stating his desire to stay at Real Madrid, the young winger is aware that the arrival of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick could limit his playing time, making a move to the Premier League a viable option.

In the event that either Vinicius or Rodrygo leaves the club, Real Madrid have identified Bukayo Saka as the ideal replacement. The Arsenal star has been in scintillating form this season, and his versatility and skill on the wing would make him an excellent fit for the Spanish giants.

As the transfer saga continues to unfold, one thing is certain – Real Madrid’s pursuit of Bukayo Saka will be one of the most closely watched stories of the summer. Will the Spanish giants be able to secure the signature of the Arsenal star, or will he remain at the Emirates Stadium? Only time will tell.
