After the latest racial incident involving Valencia fans, journalist Fabrizio Romano has declared that there is absolutely no chance Vinicius Jr. will leave Real Madrid
He also thinks the squad from the nation’s capital will soon reveal an extension of the Brazilian international’s deal.
During Madrid’s weekend away trip to Mestalla, Vinicius Jr. was directly involved in a nasty incident including racial abuse from the Valencia supporters. Following the game, a number of media outlets suggested that the Brazilian might as well have played his final match for Madrid.
This is mostly because Vinicius has frequently been the target of racial remarks in La Liga. However, the player has maintained a positive attitude and is reported to be fully dedicated to Real Madrid and has no plans to leave Santiago Bernabeu.
Intriguingly, Vinicius has reiterated to his entourages that he wants to stay at Real Madrid. These individuals are quite concerned about the racial abuse Vinicius has received and the lack of support he has received from the referees.
Romano so affirms that Real Madrid is ready to take a very strong stance against this issue in order to support all of the players. Together with the players, they will battle racism, and Jude Bellingham’s upcoming arrival won’t be impacted by the current incident.

Top 5 Worst Real Madrid Managers Of All Time
Here are the 5 worst Real Madrid managers ever –
5. Arsenio Iglesias (January 1996 to June 1996)
Deportivo La Coruna’s wonderful spell earned Arsenio Iglesias a route to top level management at the Bernabeu. He saw through his first stint, putting up title challenges with a weak Galacticos team across three years.
He was recalled from retirement in 1996 to bring back a side languishing at sixth in the La Liga. Iglesias did not improve things, taking over from Jorge Valdano and instead saw Real get knocked out of the European Cup by Juventus. Real finished the season without European football for the first time in 19 years.
4. Juan Ramón López Caro
Not everybody was on board with Juan Caro’s appointment. He only had experience managing Real’s B side and was called up to replace Vanderlei Luxeburgo. The Galacticos got knocked out of the Champions League by Arsenal, lost 6-1 to Mallorca in the Copa del Rey and finished 12 points behind rivals, Barcelona in the La Liga.
3. Mariano García Remón
Mariano Remon never had the tools to take on Real Madrid’s hot seat. Los Blancos bosses turned to him when Jose Camacho was sacked in hopes of seeing the squad improve. Long story short, he lived up to coach Real for the shortest period in history, lasting for only 101 days.
2. José Antonio Camacho
Jose Camacho lasted 23 days as Real’s boss in 1998 and then was brought back in 2004. His second stint did not go any different with a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in his third game in charge. He did not have the love of the players as Roberto Carlos went public with his criticism of the coach.
1. Julen Lopetegui
Julen Lopetegui probably was one of the worst appointments in Real Madrid’s history. He was sacked as the Spanish head coach right before the 2018 World Cup.
Lopetegui’s reign was never gonna go off smoothly after that beginning the season with a shocking 4-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid. Then he also oversaw the club through a disastrous 5-1 loss in the El Clasico. After 12 months, he was relieved of his services after which Zinedine Zidane arrived for his second stint.

In the accompanying two seasons, Ronaldo completed twice second for the Ballon d’Or behind Lionel Messi, his apparent vocation rival. He won two La Liga titles and four Champions League trophies during his trophy-laden career with Los Blancos.
In order to take advantage of Harry Kane’s contract situation, Real Madrid is rumoured to have him on their short list for this summer
According to Cadena SER, Kane has informed Tottenham that if a good offer comes in for him this summer, he would prefer to go. The 29-year-old is entering the final year of his contract this summer, and this is why Real are interested in him.
Kane, at 29 and in the condition he is in right now, would be the ideal replacement for Karim Benzema, who will turn 36 at the end of the year.
Kane has nonetheless managed to perform admirably for a Spurs squad that has been utterly dismal this season, tallying 30 goals in all competitions, his best performance since 2020/21.
According to a story in The Guardian published yesterday, Manchester United is getting ready to increase its interest in signing the England captain, giving Real some competition in their pursuit of the player who is just 49 goals away from breaking the Premier League scoring record.
When Real comes calling, you can never rule them out because he is so close to breaking Alan Shearer’s record that you would expect him to want to stay in the Premier League should he wish to move out.

Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez was best known as a poacher with the pace of a cheetah. The highly-energetic Mexican was brought in for cheap at United and turned into a superstar. Fans enjoyed his consistent goal threat with Wayne Rooney behind him.
But injuries and a lack of development saw Hernandez’ minutes drop slowly as better strikers took his place. Eventually, he was sold off to Bayer Leverkusen but not before a short loan stint at Real Madrid.
8. Angel Di Maria – Players Who Played For Real Madrid And Manchester United
Bildbyran
Angel Di Maria remains one of the players who did achieve glory after leaving Real Madrid but was still a bad sale.
After a £25m move from Benfica, he featured in 200 games and was hailed as one of the world’s best under Jose Mourinho. Di Maria came to life under the Portuguese, tearing up teams on the counters. Unfortunately, the relationship soured towards the end when he was asked to sit out of Argentina’s 2014 World Cup final against Germany.
He was sold to Manchester United that summer for £56.7m when he was still at his peak. Spells at Old Trafford and now at PSG have not been as fruitful by he was one of the players Real Madrid should not have sold. He is one of the players who played for Real Madrid and Manchester United.
7. Michael Owen
Michael Owen’s best years was spent at Liverpool which tragically ended after his switch to Real Madrid. At the height of his powers, the English forward decided to leave Anfield and join the Galacticos. He featured alongside Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Raúl, Luís Figo, Zinedine Zidane and his England teammate David Beckham.
But he could never regain his starring form and was shipped back to England within a year to Newcastle United. Alex Ferguson snapped him up in his later years as a backup striker and won the Premier League in 2011.
6. Gabriel Heinze
Gabriel Heinze had a career spread across many clubs but he spent his prime years at Real Madrid and Manchester United.
He moved to Old Trafford after helping Paris Saint-Germain to the Coupe de France in 2004. He cost the Red Devils £6.9m at the time and immediately established himself as the starting left-back. But injuries took a rather large toll on him, forcing Alex Ferguson to drop him from the starting line up.
He demanded for a transfer to Liverpool but United rejected the £6.8m offer and sent him to Real Madrid instead for a higher fee of £8m.
5. Casemiro – Players Who Played For Real Madrid And Manchester United
Bildbyran
The Red Devils shelled out £50.7m plus £8.5m in add-ons for the Brazilian international last summer. He has been highly successful at Santiago Bernabeu and is considered as one of the best midfielders of this generation. Casemiro has gone on to lift three La Liga trophies, five Champions League titles and several domestic cups in his illustrious career as a Real Madrid player.
Even at Man United, he has cemented his status as one of the Premier League’s top midfielders. His ability to cope with the pace and technicality of the Premier League has startled several fans and pundits around the world.
4. Raphael Varane – Players Who Played For Real Madrid And Manchester United
Bildbyran
One of the best French defenders in recent times, Varane went on to make 336 appearances for Los Blancos, helping them to three La Liga titles, four UEFA Champions Leagues, four FIFA Club World Cups, three UEFA Super Cups and one Copa del Rey.
The World Cup winner joined United in the summer of 2021 and endured a tough debut season in the Premier League but has managed to rediscover his best form under the guidance of Erik Ten Hag in the 2022/23 campaign.
3. Ruud van Nistelrooy
One of Netherlands’ most skillful players ever, Van Nistelrooy enjoyed some classy moments in English football. He won the Premier League title, the FA Cup and the League Cup and the Community Shield during his 5 season with United.
In his final year, Alex Ferguson revealed that the forward wanted to leave. Two weeks later his transfer was confirmed to Real Madrid on a three-year contract. Real paid out €14m for him and won two La Liga titles with him leading the line.
David Beckham wanted out of Manchester United the day Sir Alex Ferguson threw a boot at him in the dressing room. Both of their relationship started to deteriorate once Beckham’s life outside of football got larger. The 2001/02 season was his best as a Red Devil as he scored 16 goals but United moved him on another season later.
Barcelona had almost signed the English superstar before Real Madrid swooped in with €37m of their own. He was a part of the recruitment project set by Florentino Perez at the time. He is one of the players who played for Real Madrid and Manchester United.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo – Players Who Played For Real Madrid And Manchester United
Cristiano Ronaldo is perhaps the greatest player on this list of Red Devils and Madristas. No doubt the 5-time Balon d’Or winner is one of the best players to have ever played for both clubs.
One of the most astonishing fact is that this man is at the top of Real Madrid’s most expensive departures. It is quite remarkable to think that Cristiano Ronaldo was Real’s most expensive signing for half a decade and yet at age 33, he became their most costly departure.
Ronaldo’s release clause was set at €900 million. However, after falling out with management, the five-time Balon d’Or winner wanted out. He requested for his release clause to be lowered and departed for €117 million in 2018 for Juventus.
Real Madrid has never looked the same since. He is one of the players who played for Real Madrid and Manchester United.
When Kylian Mbappe chose to snub Real Madrid in favour of extending his contract with Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017, Real Madrid were left furious
The 24-year-old abruptly changed his mind and chose to stay in the French city after the Merengues thought they had the signing all but sealed. However, as he approaches the last 12 months of his contract, Mbappe’s future is certain to spark significant debate once more in 2019.
The Frenchman’s contract was renewed by PSG for a further three years, through 2025. However, the new contract he signed contained a crucial element. Mbappe signed a contract for two years, concluding in 2024, with the possibility of an extension into 2025. The condition is that in order to start the extension, both sides must agree.
The France forward is reportedly not eager to extend his contract by another year, which might result in his becoming a free agent in 2024, according to L’Equipe. Mbappe’s contract was renewed not long after unrest rumours and fresh Real Madrid connections appeared. Despite the fact that everything appears to be in order, the PSG superstar is not fully keen on staying at the team for very long. Mbappe must decide whether to extend his contract until 2025 before July 31, 2023, and as of now, he has no plans to do so.
Real Madrid is aware of this scenario and may try to sign Mbappe, 24, if he becomes a free agent after this year. The 2024 contract expiration of the club’s captain Karim Benzema need a replacement. And the two leading candidates that Los Blancos are considering are Mbappe and Erling Haaland.
The Frenchman’s refusal to extend his PSG contract makes the chance of him becoming unemployed next year extremely plausible, which means a transfer to plausible Madrid might once again be on the table.
Vinicius will now be available to play Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday night.
The Brazilian winger was suspended in Real’s last game against Valencia for hitting Valencia’s Hugo Duro in stoppage time.
He was racially abused for five games after a ruling by the Spanish Football Federation on Tuesday and his suspension would be overturned.
The committee has ordered the closure of Mario Kempas stand for five matches and imposed a fine of €45,000.
Vinicius made a strong statement by saying La Liga “belongs to racists” and several players from around the globe have offered their support.
The Brazilian winger has frequently been targeted in La Liga and the latest incident came at Valencia’s Mestalla.
“The RFEF Competition Committee considers that the referee’s assessment was determined by the omission of the entirety of the play that took place, which affected the refereeing decision.”
“The fact that he [the referee] was deprived of a decisive part of the facts led him to adopt an arbitrary decision. And this is because it was impossible for him to properly assess what happened.”

10 Legendary Real Madrid players: Defenders
Sergio Ramos – 10 Legendary Real Madrid players
Sergio Ramos is one of the finest defenders in the history of Real Madrid. He was the captain of Real Madrid’s three winning Champions League campaigns. Before leaving for PSG, he left a legacy in club history.
Sergio Ramos was the scorer in both the 2014 and 2016 Champions League finals. He was the first Spanish signing made by Florentino Pérez when he arrived from Sevilla in 2005. He was 19 years old when he made his debut for Real Madrid.
Ramos has won 22 trophies including four European Cups, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 5 La Liga titles, 2 Copas del Rey and 4 Spanish Super Cups. He made 671 appearances for Los Blancos, making him the club’s fourth-highest all-time appearance maker, topped only by Raúl (741), Casillas (725) and Sanchís (710). He has been named the best defender in the Champions League twice. Romas played a big role in winning La Liga title in 2019-20.
Carvajal – 10 Legendary Real Madrid players
Carvajal is the product of Real Madrid’s youth set-up. The right-back is playing for Real Madrid since his return from Bayer Leverkusen in 2013. He was the starter in Real Madrid’s recent four Champions League final wins.
In 2016, Carvajal scored the winning goal in the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla. He was also part of Real Madrid’s most recent La Liga triumph in 2019-20.
Roberto Carlos – 10 Legendary Real Madrid players
Roberto Carlos was one of the finest defenders in Real Madrid shirt. Roberto Carlos joined Real Madrid in the year 1996 close season. He played 584 matches for Real Madrid in all competitions, scoring 71 goals. He is Real Madrid’s most capped foreign-born player in La Liga with 370 appearances, breaking the previous record of 329 held by Alfredo Di Stéfano.

He was named Club Defender of the Year and included in the UEFA Team of the Year in 2002 and 2003. He also scored the opening goal for Real Madrid when they beat Barcelona in El Clásico at Camp Nou for the first time in 20 years.
There are now three types of player renewals for Real Madrid
The players that have reached an extension with the club are represented by the first group. Luka Modric, Karim Benzema, and Toni Kroos, all of whom will wear all-white next season, are included on this list.
The second group consists of those who have not yet signed a contract with the club but are sending out encouraging signals about a renewal in the coming weeks. Such an instance can be found with Marco Asensio.
Nacho Fernandez and Dani Ceballos are among the participants in the final group. The aforementioned pair are keeping their options open but haven’t ruled out the possibility of returning for the next season. They are leaving Santiago Bernabeu with each passing day. Inter Milan has reportedly summoned Nacho Fernandez and is waiting for him to announce his choice, according to reports from Jose Felix Diaz. The Italians give him a consistent place in the team, which he sorely lost in the capital of Spain.
The player has accepted a renewal offer from Real Madrid, who have also put one on the table. The club is now watching for him to announce his choice. The centre back has frequently expressed his affection for Real Madrid and his delight in playing at the Bernabeu. Other than the absence of a starting position, nothing is keeping him from the team.
However, the player believes that at this point in his career, playing time is priceless. He’s 33 years old today, and he doesn’t want to play at the highest level for his remaining years. Only 16 of Real Madrid’s 35 league games have been started by Nacho, who has made 24 appearances and contributed to two goals. Additionally, he has oversaw seven clean sheets and averages 6.1 defensive plays per game.

Top 6 Real Madrid Flops In Recent History
Real Madrid have a rich history in world football. That comes with signing some of the best players by spending record amounts in the transfer market. We have seen stars shuffle in and out of the Galactico doors for years but not all of them have been blockbuster hits.
We have seen our fair share of Real Madrid flops who could not cope with the pressure. You get very limited chances to impress yourself in Los Blancos colours and if you don’t, chances are you will be axed. We have compiled a list of players who failed at Real Madrid. Here are the top five players who failed at Real Madrid in recent history –
6. Eden Hazard
bildbyran
Eden Hazard’s deal to Real Madrid, which had been in the works for ten years, looked hopeless the moment the winger showed up overweight for preseason practise.
To be fair to Hazard, he was incredibly unlucky with injuries given that he was virtually injury-free throughout his tenure at Chelsea.
But even when he’s been able to string together a few matches in Spain, he’s come off as a pretty shoddy replica of the guy who shone in the Premier League for seven years.
Although Hazard has won numerous prestigious awards, including the Champions League, he contributed about as little to Real Madrid’s 2021–22 victory as Gareth Bale – and it wasn’t for want of effort on the side of the Belgian, which arguably makes the whole thing even more heartbreaking.
Real Madrid paid €31.5 million to prize Danilo out of FC Porto. That was prior to the massive inflation in the transfer market where anybody went for that sort of money. Clearly, the Brazilian was highly rated and was viewed as potential starter for the future.
He could never really upstage Dani Carvajal under the management of Zinedine Zidane. Whenever he came on, he was never poor but lacked the consistency and quality to really mark his stamp on the team. Two years into his six-year deal, Danilo was shipped off to Manchester City.
4. Jonathan Woodgate
Jonathan Woodgate is easily one of the worst players Real Madrid ever signed. He was unfortunate to get injured in his debut season, waiting an entire year to make his first appearance. When he did begin his Real Madrid career, it got off to a disastrous start. A red card and an own goal against Athletic Bilbao pretty much summed up the extent of his stay at Santiago Bernabeu.
3. Nuri Sahin
Nuri Sahin was one of the world’s best midfield talents at the start of the last decade. At just 17, he made his debut for the Turkish national team. He was breaking out in Jurgen Klopp’s young and ruthless Borussia Dortmund side which also fielded stars like Robert Lewandowski, Marco Reus and Mario Gotze.
Real Madrid quickly snapped him up at €10 million believing he could be exactly what Toni Kroos turned out to be. Unfortunately, through several injuries and a mismatch with Jose Mourinho’s tactics, Sahin only ever made 4 La Liga appearances for Los Blancos. Following two loan spells overseas, he was sent back to Dortmund.
2. Antonio Cassano
Antonio Cassano is a legend in Italy with 39 caps for his country and his playing years spread around several Serie A clubs. When he was breaking out as a youngster at AS Roma, many viewed him as the playmaker who would tussle with the world’s very best.
However, with his off-the-pitch antics and a fallout with then-manager, Fabio Capello meant his Real Madrid career was doomed to fail. A decision was made to ship him back to Italy after just one season as his attitude was heavily criticised by club president, Ramon Calderon at the time.
1. Royston Drenthe
Royston Drenthe’s name has popped up as one of the football’s biggest flops for years now. And that too for good reason. Blessed with lightning speed along with the touch similar to that of Ronaldinho, the world was at Drenthe’s feet when he was at Feyenoord.
Numerous outlets were behind him but it was Real Madrid who won the race in 2007. He cost the club €14 million but never provided a return on that hefty investment. His attitude in training was never tip-top and after several incidents, he could hardly break into the first team. He was even sent out on loan spells to Hercules and Everton to reassess his career but none of it helped.
After Real, he joined Alania Vladikavkaz upon the expiration of his contract in 2012. Now 32, he’s playing for Kozakken Boys in the third tier of Dutch football.
Karim Benzema is a French footballer who currently plays as a striker for Real Madrid. In his prime, Benzema was viewed by many as probably one of the best strikers in the world, and he is viewed as one of the best French players of all time, winning the French Player of the Year a record three times: in 2011, 2012 and 2014. His noteworthy structure saw him join Real Madrid in 2009 where he scored 321 goals in thirteen seasons and still counting.
Casillas undoubtedly comes after Raul. Iker Casillas is a Spanish footballer generally viewed as probably one of the best goalkeepers of all time. He played for Real Madrid, Porto and the Spain national group. He has won La Liga Best Goalkeeper recognition twice. He was a striking, well-rounded, and athletic keeper, who was known in particular for his outstanding agility, reflexes, consistency and shot-stopping.
Sergio Ramos is a Spanish proficient footballer who played his whole vocation for Real Madrid. He is currently viewed as probably the best defender of his generation and has received praise for his leadership as well as passing and goalscoring capabilities. In addition to his defensive skills and goalscoring abilities, he is gifted with pace and is also comfortable on the ball. Due to his multiple ranges of skills, former manager Carlo Ancelotti has compared him to legendary defender Paolo Maldini.
