In recent days, rumors placing Vinícius leaving Real Madrid to head to Arabia have gained a lot of importance again. A meeting between his closest circle and emissaries from the country, discussing his possible signing, has been revealed. Josep Pedrerol spoke about this possibility on the latest episode of El Chiringuito, being very blunt.
Josep Pedrerol started by saying: "He has 2 and a half years left on his contract. Why negotiate now? The plan is to negotiate at the end of next season, when he has one year left. There's no need to bother Florentino; if Vinícius wants to leave, something that Real Madrid is not aware of, Arabia should put 1 billion on the table, his release clause."
In this regard, the host of El Chiringuito concluded by pointing out: "There was a call from Arabia to Madrid last summer. The reply was: 'He's non-transferable.' Next, Real Madrid is not negotiating with Vinícius, it's a lie. They won't do it until the end of next season. And if they want him to leave, or he wants to leave, 1 billion. That's the information I have."
Real Madrid Won't Do Anything Crazy for Vinícius
What Florentino is clear about is that he doesn't intend to engage in any standoff to secure Vinícius's continuity. In the past, he didn't do it with players like Ronaldo or Ramos, and he won't change this now. If he wishes to leave and presents a proposal, he won't be offered a renewal: he has the doors open to go to Arabia if he comes with 1 billion.
Real Madrid won't negotiate his departure, as Josep Pedrerol has announced, thus referring to his release clause. Nor will there be negotiations for a possible contract improvement, something he has been requesting (especially in the economic aspect) since Mbappé's arrival. He is tied until 2027 with a release clause accessible to very few.
Despite these rumors being bothersome at this precise moment, the reality is that there is no concern at Real Madrid regarding Vinícius's departure. It is considered that they have the upper hand, and a possible exit of the Brazilian wouldn't change anything, as there are no negotiations and he can only leave for what his clause stipulates.
Josep Pedrerol has said it: there is total calm regarding Vinícius's possible departure to Arabia. However, it will be necessary to keep an eye on his situation...
