Celebrated every year on December 28, the Day of the Holy Innocents in Spain gives rise to a few trolls. On this Saturday morning, Mundo Deportivo also honored this tradition by relaying false information according to which Vinícius Júnior had signed a pre-contract with PSG yesterday in the Chinese city of Wuhan for the next ten seasons. These false revelations are nevertheless part of a hot and very real issue: the future of the Brazilian in Madrid.
With this in mind, daily A.S. dedicates a new paper to the future of the Auriverde international (37 caps, 5 goals) in the Spanish capital. The opportunity for the Iberian media to recall the issues surrounding number 7 of Casa Blanca. After narrowly missing the Ballon d’Or, ultimately awarded to Rodri, the one who recently won the prestigious The Best trophy sees, in fact, his future widely discussed on the Madrid side. The main reason? The pressure currently being carried out by Saudi Arabia to try to strike a historic blow by enlisting the native of São Gonçalo.
Real Madrid will have to take out the checkbook!
Recently, we told you, in this regard, that Al-Ahli was already ready to offer a real golden bridge to the 1m76 right-hander. An approach which did not fail to frighten the Merengues, although the latter had categorically refused to negotiate. The person concerned decided to leave the door open. This Saturday, A.S. also specifies that Saudi Arabia has clearly not said its last word and intends to insist on trying to convince the former Flamengo player to join the Gulf next summer. A context logically working in favor of the Canarinha star and pushing Real Madrid to react.
Thus, with less than two years until the end of his lease, Vinícius Júnior, who feels good in Madrid, would like to take advantage of this situation to negotiate a salary increase. While his agent, Frederico Pena, preferred to sign a short renewal during the last contract extension in order to leave his protégé in control of his destiny, the Brazilian today aspires to get closer to the emoluments granted to a certain Kylian Mbappé. Aware of his contribution on the pitch (14 goals and 10 assists in 21 matches in all competitions) and his importance in Carlo Ancelotti’s playing system, the left winger logically finds himself in a position of strength. Under pressure but more determined than ever to keep its star, Real Madrid will have to make a major effort next summer to satisfy the hopes of its jewel and thus prolong the marriage…
