Real Madrid are in a precarious situation with Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian has not agreed on a new contract with the club.
He has been one of the finest players for the Los Blancos post-Cristiano Ronaldo era. The 25-year-old has won two Champions League titles with them.
Vinicius joined Real Madrid in 2018 from Flamengo at the age of 18. The Los Blancos paid €46 million for the forward. Since then, he has become one of the best forwards in the world.
This season, he has made 31 appearances for Real Madrid in all competitions. He has scored 7 goals and provided 11 assists. These numbers are significantly lower than his previous seasons.
Last season, he scored 22 goals and provided 19 assists in 58 games in all competitions. In the 2023/24 season, he was a Ballon d’Or contender.
In just 39 games, the Brazilian scored 24 goals, provided 11 assists, and helped Real Madrid win their 15th Champions League title.
So far, Vinicius Junior has made over 350 appearances for the Los Blancos and scored over 100 goals. That is why he was the face of the club before Kylian Mbappe joined.
The Brazilian’s contract will expire in 2027, and Real Madrid are trying desperately to renew his contract because they know his importance.
According to INA, Vinicius Junior has now sent a warning to Real Madrid. The 25-year-old has told Madrid to make a decision quickly.
Unless they agree on a new contract, Vinicius is ready to leave the club next summer. He wants to resolve his contract situation by April.
So, Florentino Perez now must act quickly. Otherwise, European heavyweights, along with Saudi Pro League clubs, are waiting for Vinicius Junior’s signature.
