Vinicius Junior Invites Haaland for Holiday Together

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior shared a post inviting Manchester City's Erling Haaland to join him for a holiday while he enjoys his off-season in Rio de Janeiro. The post included images of Vinicius working out with American actor Terry Crews, who was also featured holding a Brazil national team jersey.

Vinicius captioned the post, “We are waiting for you, @erling.” The invitation to Haaland is linked to a meme that gained traction during the 2026 tournament, where Vinicius and Haaland were humorously depicted in a parody of a scene from the film "White Chicks." Their friendship blossomed during the World Cup, notably when Vinicius interrupted Haaland's post-match interview after Norway eliminated Brazil. On July 21, Haaland celebrated his 26th birthday, and Vinicius commented, “Happy birthday bro see u soon,” which led to speculation about their future plans.
