Author of 22 goals and 14 assists this season in all competitions, Vinicius Junior was one of the rare Real Madrid players to do well. While his team was unable to win a single trophy, the Brazilian showed that he remained an essential element. But one year from the end of his contract, his situation remains fragile.
For many months now, the possible extension of Vinicius Junior has been a recurring subject at Real Madrid. Already questioned on the subject on several occasions, the first person concerned always said that he felt good with the Merengue and that he planned to stay there for a long time. But the fact is that no agreement has yet been announced. For some observers, a hard blow is possible for the team of resigning president Florentino Perez.
Wednesday evening on the set of the L’Équipe channel, Damien Degorre expressed his doubts about a guaranteed extension of Vinicius Junior. The observer even considers the possibility of a free departure in June 2027. “It doesn’t seem impossible to me. Negotiations over a contract extension have been going on for two years. It’s not moving forward because Vinicius is asking for a very high salary. »
Real Madrid, change above all
And continue. “We also know the policy of Florentino Perez, who does not accede to all the desires of his stars. Players and stars of a club leaving free, it happens.
(Kylian) Mbappé left PSG free, (Lionel) Messi left Barça free, why wouldn’t Vinicius leave Real Madrid free? »
The question is in any case asked but should not be answered quickly. What happens during the summer should partly count. As Madrid comes out of a white season, a presidential election called by Florentino Perez himself will take place on June 7. You will then need to know the name of the new coach, then the identity of the expected recruits to rebalance the team. Vinicius Junior will then have plenty of time to make his decision.
