Journalist Siro López has once again delivered one of those statements that don't go unnoticed. In his latest analysis about Real Madrid, he gave direct advice to Florentino Pérez regarding Vinícius Júnior's situation.
His words have sparked controversy among fans and haven't left anyone indifferent.
During his appearance on his YouTube channel, Siro addressed the rumors that have been circulating for weeks about an alleged interest from Saudi Arabia in signing Vinícius. It has even been leaked that the offer would reach €350 million, an amount that would break all historical records.
¿EL FUTURO DE VINICIUS Y DE RODRYGO PASA POR EL REAL MADRID?
"If they offer 350 million for Vinícius..."
The journalist didn't hold back for a second and said bluntly: "If they offer 350 million for Vinícius, I'd put a bow on him and take him to the airport myself."
A statement full of irony, but one that contains a deeper reflection on the player's real value. Also on the role he plays in Real Madrid's project.
350 million: reality or smoke?
Beyond the impact of the statement, Siro went further and showed serious doubts about the truthfulness of that supposed offer. "I don't think that's true. Who's going to put 350 million on the table for Vinícius right now?" he said.
It doesn't make sense, not even for Saudi Arabia. If it's true... then you have to act intelligently."
According to Siro, accepting a proposal of such magnitude would be more than reasonable. "I don't think there's a player in the world for whom you can't negotiate such a figure. It's madness.
If Florentino has it on the table, he should accept it now," he concluded. This stance has ignited debate on social media.
These words contrast with the official discourse within the club, where Vinícius is considered an untouchable piece, both in sports and institutionally. The Brazilian, according to Florentino's circle, represents the present and future of Madridism.
The debate is on the table
Siro's words have resonated. Many fans are wondering if Vinícius is really worth the 350 million that have been mentioned. Above all, if he's the right player to lead the club's new era alongside Mbappé, Bellingham, and company.
This isn't the first time Siro López has delivered a forceful message about the squad. This time, he has targeted the most controversial player of the moment. Vinícius divides opinions because of his talent, but also because of his attitude on and off the field.
Florentino Pérez has the final say. If the offer exists, as some media suggest, he will have to assess whether it's time to close Vinícius's chapter at the club. Perhaps, heed the veteran journalist's advice.
