Real Madrid’s prospective plans in the event that Vinicius Jr. decides to quit the team have been clarified by a recent SPORT story. The Brazilian winger is still a vital member of the team, but it should be highlighted that Los Blancos have always operated on the tenet that no player, no matter how significant, is irreplaceable.
The crux of this issue is Vinicius’s insistence on a substantial pay raise. The club’s long-term viability still depends on Florentino Perez upholding financial restraint; therefore, he is unlikely to give in to such pressures.
Although Real Madrid officials are at ease with the situation and anticipate the Brazilian superstar to sign a new contract before the end of the current one, it is not a given that Vinicius will stay at Real Madrid because he has seemed to entertain interest from Saudi Arabia.
Officials at Real Madrid have begun to be ready for life after Vinicius, so this confidence is not entirely unqualified. Sport reports that if the player asked for a transfer, the club would consider an offer over €250 million. Should that happen, they have begun compiling a list of potential replacements.
Real Madrid have Vini Jr. replacements in sight
Athletic Club’s Nico Williams appears to have a modest advantage over the other player for a number of reasons. In the first place, he would be less expensive than Wirtz. Second, he can be used as Vinicius’s left-wing substitute due to his natural style of play.
Finally, his addition would boost the team’s Spanish-to-foreign player ratio, something Madrid has always considered while assembling its roster. Conversely, Wirtz is still a serious contender, particularly if Xabi Alonso is chosen to be the team’s next manager. One of the most promising young players in Europe, the German playmaker will be 22 in May.
In particular, if Real Madrid wants to restructure their attacking midfield for the future, his inventiveness, technical skill, and vision make him a desirable choice. Vinicius is still wanted by Real Madrid, but the team is already preparing for every possibility. They will not think twice about bringing in a new superstar who can take the team to the next level if the Brazilian leaves.
