Famous insider and journalist Mario Cortegana has shared interesting thoughts on the future of Brazilian speedy winger Vinicius Junior, currently playing for the Madrid club. According to him, the situation between the player and the club remains uncertain.
It is known that last summer, clubs from Saudi Arabia showed strong interest in Vinicius’ transfer. However, at that time Real Madrid’s management did not even want to enter negotiations. This showed the club’s great trust in the player and his important role in the team.
But today the situation looks completely different. According to Cortegana, citing sources close to the matter, if the Saudis come again with a serious offer, Real might well consider selling him. They would try to make the offer attractive both for the club and for the player.
At the same time, there is still no final decision. Real Madrid expects the forward to improve his performance. The club does not want to pay the salary he is demanding, but contract extension talks may continue.
For now, the Madrid club has not yet decided: sell him now, put him on the market in the summer of 2026 for a lower price, or let him go for free when his contract ends in 2027 — these questions remain open.
Earlier it was reported that negotiations between the player and the club regarding the contract had stalled. Real offered him a salary of 20 million euros per year, but Vinicius demanded an additional 10 million euros in bonuses.
Football insiders and fans are closely following this process. Whether Vinicius stays at Real or not could be a decisive factor not only for the club’s current strategy but also for its major plans in the coming years.
