It is an outing that makes a lot of noise in Spain. One of the ancient emblematic faces of Real Madrid, both a decisive scorer in the 1990s and the leader of the 2000s, launched a pavement in the pond. Without detour, he considered that the moment had perhaps come for the Merengue club to separate from Vinicius Junior. A declaration which, in the current context, resonates as a real electroshococ.
A declaration signed Pedja Mijatovic
It was Pedja Mijatovic who spoke in the show El Larguero. “Maybe it's time to think about what we do with Vinicius … If he leaves this summer, it would not be a drama.” With the arrival of Kylian Mbappé and the tactical evolution of Real, the Brazilian seems more and more overshadowed. However, a new contract is supposed to link it until 2030. But to date, no signature has yet been formalized.
Talent is no longer enough, attitude questions
Mijatovic does not question the qualities of the player, but points to his behavior: “I do not know him personally, but some wonder: what is wrong with this boy?” For him, Vinicius has attracted too many enemies, including among the own Real supporters, because of sometimes provocative attitudes and closing communication.
Vinicius on the saddle? A Real Madrid icon pushes for sale
A possible sale, but not trivial
Mijatovic's suggestion does not fall into a vacuum. For several months, the question of compatibility between Vinicius and Mbappé returns regularly. If a good offer arrives this summer, management could take it. But a departure from the Brazilian would also be an admission of failure, he who was supposed to embody the future of the club.
The debate is now launched in Madrid. And if he comes from a man as respected as Mijatovic, it might not be that marginal.
