He is one of the symbols of Real Madrid, a star shaped by the club and pampered by his supporters. But today, the White House is due to face a situation that becomes more and more worrying. While the Vinicius Junior contract runs until 2027, the Brazilian is slow to extend and seems ready to drag the negotiations. A scenario that Merengue management knows too well.
Real ready to sell Vinicius this summer
The decision, as difficult as it may be, now seems to be acted: internally, Madrid management no longer deviates the idea of a sale of Vinicius this summer. Despite an extension offer until 2030 still on the table, the player gave no sign. Worse still, according to Okdiariohis entourage did not exclude the hypothesis of a free departure after his contract, in 2027, to pocket a colossal signature bonus.
At the heart of blocking: salary. Vinicius wishes to become the best paid player of the locker room, a status that Real was ready to grant him … until the arrival of Kylian Mbappé. The astronomical bonus offered to French has redistributed the cards. And today, Madrid finds himself unable to meet the financial requirements of the Brazilian, despite his loyalty and his performance on the ground.
A departure from Vinicius is no longer excluded in Madrid
A departure that would be a sports earthquake
Losing Vinicius at this key to the sports project would be a blow. The Auriverde winger was one of the major craftsmen of successes under the Ancelotti era, with its accelerations, its decisive goals and its complicity with Bellingham. And we were counting on him to launch the mandate Xabi Alonso. But at Real, no player is above the club, and management also wants to avoid complicated coexistence with Mbappé. Even if it means cutting in the spot.
The message is clear: either Vinicius prolongs quickly, or it will be put on the market this summer. Real Madrid wants to secure its assets, and will not wait for the situation to deteriorate. The file promises to be explosive.
