Tomás Roncero Breaks His Silence with Valladolid-Real Madrid: Two Transfers and 300 M€

The well-known journalist is clear about what he would do if Vinícius Júnior goes to Saudi Arabia.

Real Madrid has defeated Valladolid by 0 goals to 3, with a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappé. During the broadcast of this match on Cadena SER, Tomás Roncero didn't hold back and spoke decisively. Amid rumors placing Vinícius in Arabia, the journalist has set to work trying to strengthen the team with the 300 million that would be left in the coffers.

In statements collected by Defensa Central, Tomás Roncero pointed out: "If they offer me 300, I would invest it in a Kroos-like profile. 

"A Zubimendi, as I am a big fan of his. Also Kimmich, who isn't bad either. But I would be motivated by a central defender of hierarchy, a full-back...", he added.

Tomás Roncero didn't stop there, indicating: "The river of the Arabs carries all the water in the world. The Arabs are going to counterattack with a lot, a lot of force this summer. An indecent amount both for the player and Real Madrid".

"I, as a person whose economy doesn't depend on Madrid's, want Vinícius to stay. But I could understand if they come with 400 million or close...", he continued during his participation in Cadena SER in the Valladolid-Real Madrid.

Real Madrid Prepares: Goodbye to Vinícius?

The continuity of Vinícius Júnior at Real Madrid is not at all clear. Much has been said in recent months about his possible departure to Saudi Arabia. Rumors seemed to have subsided.

However, they have regained strength in the last few hours following the information revealed by journalist Ben Jacobs  from England.

In the GIVEMESPORT podcast, Jacobs was blunt about it. "Vinícius Júnior is a concrete target for Saudi Arabia."

"There are some things I have been able to find out: the first is that he has a 1,000 million euro clause and the Saudis are not going to pay it. Nothing will be possible in the January market", Jacobs said.

In this regard, he added that "It will be very difficult to achieve in 2025. But that's what I've been told: it's like the record offer they made for Mbappé when he was still at PSG and was rejected".

Continuing about Vinícius Júnior, he pointed out: "The Saudis won't pay his clause, but they are prepared to offer 350 million euros".

"This is the number they are considering to try to take Vinícius Júnior from Real Madrid. They hope Madrid thinks: 'Wait a minute, is he so good as to reject it?'". Finally, Jacobs concluded: "They still don't have the player's yes, but note this: Al-Ahli, Vinícius Júnior, summer of 2025, 350 million euros".

These would be the millions that Tomás Roncero would use to strengthen Real Madrid. He is clear about what he wants and points to 2 signings. Has Florentino taken note?
