Vinicius Jr has decided for his future
The issue that regularly agitates Real Madrid is the future of Vinicius. Sport explains today that Florentino Pérez’s entourage is encouraging the Brazilian to consider the huge offer from Saudi Arabia that we revealed to you on our site. For his part, the winger is not really inclined to leave Real Madrid. He decided to take the temperature with Pérez to try and see what he planned to do about him. This is an issue that may quickly come back to the table next summer.
Extension operation at FC Barcelona
In Barcelona, the objective is very clear as the announcement Sport on its front page: extend Pedri and Gavi. The Catalan daily explains that we are very close to an agreement with the two midfielders so that they extend their contracts until 2029. This is clearly one of the priorities of Barça which has too often been overtaken by the contracts of its players. For Pedri and Gavi, management does not want to miss out, especially given their importance in Hansi Flick’s squad. Moreover, Deco, the club’s sports director, spoke at length in Mundo Deportivo regarding these extensions. He was even very complimentary towards Gavi: “ He embodies everything that Barça is. Gavi is a special player. Gavi’s character is everything a footballer should have. He’s only 20 and he looks like he’s 26 or 27. » In parallel with the Pedri and Gavi files, Deco is dealing in particular with Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong. Sport explains that an agreement is very close to being reached with the Uruguayan defender, however Frenkie de Jong continues to keep management waiting. His contract ends in 2026 and for the moment Barça is unable to move forward on this issue. A.S. talks about his return to competition and explains that De Jong hasn’t gotten on the train yet. His first performances did not convince anyone, he still seems fragile and even in the selection Ronald Koeman explained that he was not ready to start a match. To return to the extensions the question will quickly arise with Marc Casado who is untouchable like the title Sport. He is linked to Barça until 2028 and for the moment his clause is set at 100 million euros, a figure which could quickly rise if he extends once again.
Juve relaunches the Škriniar track
There Gazzetta dello Sport offers its front page of the day with Milan Škriniar the PSG defender. This is a hot issue for Juve who absolutely need a player to compensate for Bremer’s serious injury. Škriniar is the priority especially when we know that he lacks playing time with Paris and that he knows Serie A very well since his time at Inter Milan. Now, there is one detail that comes into play and that could get in the way, and that is his salary. Juve does not have an unlimited budget and is therefore keeping an eye on other less expensive players, notably Kévin Danso from Lens who last summer saw his transfer to Roma abort at the last moment.
