Real Madrid may be about to part ways with their top asset.
Details: According to TEAMtalk, intermediaries have already made contact with five Premier League clubs—Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea—as well as PSG and Bayern Munich regarding a potential summer transfer for Vinicius Junior.
The situation surrounding the 25-year-old Brazilian has become tense due to stalled contract talks, which have dragged on for more than 18 months. Vinicius is demanding a salary on par with Kylian Mbappé—over £500,000 per week.
The “Royal Club” has made a final offer and warned the player’s entourage: there will be no further improvements. President Florentino Pérez is unwilling to risk losing his star for free in 2027, so if a deal isn’t struck soon, Real Madrid will put the player up for sale this transfer window.
It’s worth noting that this season, the Brazilian forward has played 44 matches for Real in all competitions, scoring 17 goals and providing 13 assists. Transfermarkt currently values him at €150 million.
Reminder: Pep Guardiola has made a decision regarding Rodri, who is considering a move to Real.
