Real Madrid are preparing for a significant squad overhaul this summer, but two stars will remain at the heart of the club’s long-term plans.
Real Madrid Make Vinicius and Mbappe Non-Negotiable for Next Season
The Spanish giants have gone two full seasons without lifting a major trophy. Leadership at the Santiago Bernabéu recognises that a dramatic makeover is long overdue.
Several players and even some coaching staff members now face uncertain futures as a result.
However, according to Spanish publication Diario AS, Real Madrid will build their project around Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe next season. The club considers both forwards completely untouchable.
Los Blancos have no intention of selling either player. Instead, they will look to recruit new talent that complements this attacking duo.
Vinicius faces his own questions regarding a contract extension. His current deal runs until 2027, but negotiations have stalled over his salary demands.
Despite this, Madrid remain committed to keeping the Brazilian as a central figure.
Mbappe has delivered strong performances since arriving in 2024, establishing himself as the team’s best player. Yet critics point to his weak defensive work rate.
He has also struggled to adapt to new coach Alvaro Arbeloa’s tactical system.
These complications do not shake the club’s resolve. Real Madrid firmly plan to revive their project around Vinicius and Mbappe for next season and beyond.
The key now lies in extending Vinicius’s contract during the upcoming summer transfer window. If successful, the pair will form the backbone of Madrid’s push to return to trophy-winning ways.
Fans can expect a busy few months of arrivals and departures, but these two stars will stay put.
