A lot of noise and little action has occurred so far, but now it's from the United States where they keep insisting on Vinícius Júnior. The proposal from Saudi Arabia remains valid, and they even assume that he will end up leaving Real Madrid, blaming Mbappé for it. The Frenchman has earned the role of leader, and this would imply the departure of his teammate, who would sign a historic contract.
Vinícius Júnior: Goodbye to Real Madrid?
The latest to speak about Vinícius' possible departure is the former footballer and CBSS commentator, Paul Joy. On his X account, he said "Am I a bit harsh on him? I don't think so."
The commentator didn't hold back, adding that "They receive a 200 million transfer from the Saudi Pro League, and I think they sell him. Mbappé is the new leader of this group!"
In this regard, he continued saying: "I wouldn't be surprised if this were Vinícius Júnior's last season at Real Madrid. There will be a major restructuring if they don't win any titles this season".
Real Madrid won't do anything crazy for Vinícius Júnior
What Florentino is clear about is that he doesn't intend to engage in any struggle to secure Vinícius Júnior'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 leave if he comes with one billion.
Real Madrid won't negotiate his sale, as announced by Real Madrid, referring to his release clause. Nor will they negotiate a possible improvement of his contract, something he has been requesting (especially in the economic aspect) since Mbappé's arrival. He is tied until 2027 and has a release clause within reach of very few.
Despite these rumors being bothersome at this precise moment, the reality is that in Madrid, there is no concern regarding a departure of Vinícius Júnior. It is considered that they have the upper hand. A possible goodbye from the Brazilian wouldn't change anything, as there are no negotiations and he can only leave for what his clause dictates.
If he wishes to head to Saudi Arabia, what he will have to do first is communicate it firmly. Then, everything will be seen with Vinícius Júnior.
