Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior is the centre of attention in the Spanish capital,but not just for his brilliant form. After dominating highlights during the Ballon d’Or news cycle due to President Florentino Perez’s decision not to let Los Blancos travel, the idea that the Brazilian might not be long for Los Blancos continues to persist.
In the summer,a number of figures emerged, stating that Vinicius could expect to earn €1b over five years if he were to move to Saudi Arabia. While Madrid quoted his €1b release clause, the talk is of a remarkable transfer fee between €400-500m. Vinicius’s agents also met with Saudi Arabian’ officials after the transfer window closed in London, to continue with the relations between the two.
Recently, Junior has been quite clear that he wants to stay at Santiago Bernabeu forever, a part that Sports say is back and forth between himself and the club. The persistence of the stories about his departure also come ahead of a potential contract renewal for Los Blancos, discussion is on the horizon, with his current deal ending in 2027.
The same source goes on to state that there are a growing number of voices advises Perez to sell his star. Among the advisers are his son Chivo,who is being handed an increasing power both within the club and his dad’s business outside of it. It is believed that in one fell swoop, Los Blancos could solve their financial issues and settle Kylian Mbappe in his preferred left-sided job.
