Josep Pedrerol, Florentino Pérez's favorite spokesperson to spread his ideas, has been clear on El Chiringuito regarding Vinícius.
The Catalan journalist stated last night on the show he directs and hosts the future plans of Florentino with Vinícius.
Florentino will not give in to blackmail. If he wants to leave, he will leave
Nothing has changed, because Real Madrid will not give in to blackmail. If Vinícius wants to stay, he will stay. The club wants him to renew his contract.
But if Vinícius wants to leave, no one will get nervous. Even if he leaves for free. The club considers the Brazilian fully amortized, both in sporting and accounting terms.
The fact that Pedrerol announces that Real Madrid will not get nervous about Vinícius is a clear message to the player. Vinícius knows that Pedrerol has good sources and that what he says is what the president wants him to say.
What Pedrerol says is what Florentino thinks
Therefore, Pedrerol's information-opinion means much more to Vinícius. It's Florentino's position on the deadlocked issue of his contract renewal.
He already knows that his pressure will not work at all. The club will not give him more than what they've offered so far.
This is how Josep Pedrerol explained on El Chiringuito the current situation regarding Vinícius's continuity at Real Madrid:
"From Real Madrid, if Vinícius doesn't want to renew and wants to leave for free at the end of his contract, there's no problem."
"Madrid will not worry if he doesn't want to renew. What Madrid will not do is pay the amounts they're asking for."
"Madrid has set an amount, and that's it. End of story. If they don't reach an agreement, he'll leave, goodbye."
"Real Madrid will not give in to the figure Vinícius has set. Madrid wants Vinícius to renew, but it won't get nervous just because there's one year left and they have to pay what he's asking for because he'll be a free agent."
"Did he cost 45 million? Well, tough luck, he's already amortized."
