Real Madrid feels the wind of the ball. Since Tuesday evening and its defeat in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League on the lawn of Arsenal (3-0), the Spanish club has launched the operation Rontada. It will be necessary to achieve a capital feat to return the situation, as the Merengues have missed their subject. Some players are particularly targeted after having missed. This is for example the case of Vinicius Junior, which has been accumulating grievances for a few weeks. “”It was a bad match. We will have to do better and fight at the Bernabeu. Things have always happened in this stage and we can do it again.»»
The Brazilian promises to be up to the task next Wednesday during the quarter -final return, while he is accused by the Spanish media of not having provided the necessary efforts during this rout. He is not the only one since Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo or Jude Bellingham – The team stars – take it for their rank. More generally, the accumulation of big names on the ground updates a certain collective imbalance in Real Madrid. Since the start of the season and the signature of Mbappé, Carlo Ancelotti has not found the solution to obtain a set as solid as coherent. There have already been 5 liga defeats, as much in C1.
Vinicius Jr is not convinced by the Saudi offer
By aligning the stars in attack, the reigning European champion loses defensive consistency. Solutions exist for the Italian technician, which is also on the hot seat. One of the attackers must either be sacrificed, even if it means getting into trouble in the locker room, or selling at the transfer window. All eyes then turn to Vinicius Junior, announced in the viewfinder of Saudi Arabia since last summer. A proposal for a 5 -year contract and a cumulative salary of one billion euros has even circulated several times, while a transfer offer for a player under contract until 2027 would report very large. What to offer a new team.
The Saudi Pro League has never hidden its interest in the Brazilian. “Of course, we would like to have it but it depends on the clubs. The quantities we are talking about are exaggerated, but our money is used to increase the value of the league ” Mohammed Basrawi, the Director General of the Saudi Championship Department of the Saudi Championship. The numbers make you dizzy and what to make the 2nd golden ball think but according to the information ofEl Larguero on the Cadena SerVinicius Jr would not be convinced by the duration of the contract and would prefer a shorter period of two years, which the Saudis refuse.
Resumption of discussions for an extension
The latter will not pay the equivalent of the biggest transfer in history for only two seasons, and run the risk of seeing the winger go free to return to Europe. Faced with this blockage, the trend would rather be an extension to Real Madrid for two to three more years. The discussions would have even resumed that optimism is now in order. Arrived in Madrid in 2018 for € 45 million from Flamengo, the Brazilian is advancing rather to continue this adventure, rather than giving in to the Saudi sirens. Another consequence: the tactical problems of Real are therefore always relevant.
