With defeats to Milan (1-3) and Barcelona (0-4) this season, Real Madrid’s star player, Vinícius Junior, is in the news. Sport.es reports that the winger wants to stay with “Los Blancos.” However, it’s unclear if Real Madrid will want to sign a new contract with Vinícius, whose current deal is set to expire in 2027, but there are more and more voices in president Florentino Pérez’s inner circle asking him to let Vinícius go.
One of these voices is Chivo, Pérez’s son, who is becoming more well-known both inside and outside the club. By selling Vinícius, they hope to simultaneously solve their financial needs and free up space for Mbappé to return to his preferred position. Nevertheless, the matter is complicated because they would have to persuade Vinícius to leave Real and sign with another team.
Vini Jr gives worrying response to Real Madrid contract offer
Although Vini Jr. has so far declined to engage in talks, Real Madrid wants to extend his contract. With a current contract that finishes in 2027, the 24-year-old is currently Madrid’s third-highest paid player, earning £333,000 a week. Madrid has not yet made any headway in securing the player’s future. Florentino Perez will now have to wait for a more favourable time to resume talks.
A substantial contract offer from Saudi Arabia’s Pro League is still on the table, even though Vini Jr.’s future is uncertain. Even though a transfer has not yet been finalized, there is rarely smoke without fire in the world of football, and the wealthy Middle Eastern league has offered Madrid’s number seven the opportunity to become the highest-paid player in the world with a deal for an incredible €1 billion over five seasons.
