Cadena SER Drops Bomb: Florentino Puts Him up for Sale, Knocking out Vinícius

Real Madrid is going through serious trouble with its team and needs to make changes if they want to change the dynamics

Real Madrid is going through a difficult time. The results are not coming and the team performance is far from what was expected. Despite the great efforts made in the transfer market, the internal problems of the club are evident.

The situation is worrying and fans are beginning to demand answers. Florentino Pérez is determined to make important changes to reverse the current situation of the team and return Real Madrid to the prestigious place it has historically occupied.

Obvious Problems at Real Madrid

Carlo Ancelotti's team hasn't found the formula to recover its best form. The irregularity in results and the poor level of play have caused doubts in the Madrid environment. Despite having a squad full of stars, the collective performance continues to be disappointing.

The star transfer of the summer, Kylian Mbappé, hasn't lived up to expectations. The French striker arrived at Santiago Bernabéu as the great savior. However, he hasn't managed to assume the leadership role that was expected. His impact on the team play has been limited and his connection with the rest of his teammates is not there.

Overbooking at the Front

One of the factors that explains Mbappé's lack of prominence is the excess of players in the attacking zone. As Manu Carreño recently explained on Cadena SER, Real Madrid suffers from an overbooking in their offense. With players like Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham fighting for a place, internal competition has become fierce.

This excess of talent, which should be an advantage, is causing tension and making it difficult to establish a clear leader in attack. Each player seeks to stand out but this competition has ended up diluting collective performance. The need to distribute minutes and prominence has especially affected Vinícius, who hasn't been able to repeat the great performances of past seasons.

Vinícius Júnior: on the Tightrope

In this context, one of the players who could be on the way out is Vinícius Júnior. Florentino Pérez would be willing to sell the Brazilian, considering that the club needs to make drastic decisions to balance the squad and give a greater role to Kylian Mbappé. Thus, Vinícius could become the great sacrifice in this restructuring process.

Despite his young age and undoubted talent, Vinícius hasn't quite fit into the new dynamics of the team. His performance has been inconsistent and his influence on the game has diminished noticeably. The possible sale of Vinícius would be a surprising move. However,  according to Carreño, it could be the only way to fix the overbooking in the forward line.
