The royal club is unexpectedly changing direction—the highly talented yet temperamental Brazilian Vinicius Junior is no longer considered untouchable. The Blancos’ management has openly told the player’s agent that, should a substantial offer arrive this summer, the doors of the Bernabéu will swing outward for the winger.
A Pivotal Transfer Window
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Madrid club has already informed the player’s entourage that it is ready to listen to offers. Vinicius is under contract until 2028, and any prospective buyer will have to table a fee close to the market record. Yet his impressive dribbling and pace statistics have ceased to outweigh his off-the-pitch issues.
Payroll and Discipline Issues
Real’s key argument is financial: the forward is demanding a salary on a par with Kylian Mbappé, and the club is unwilling to swell the wage bill. Compounding matters is the coaching staff’s complaint about his lack of commitment: at morning sessions the Brazilian regularly arrives last, something that has not escaped Carlo Ancelotti’s notice.
The Complex Geometry of the Attack
Mbappé’s arrival forces a reshuffle of the front three. Both star wingers prefer the left flank, and the risk of overlapping zones compels the bosses to decide who will become the lynchpin of the project. For now, the balance tips toward the Frenchman, meaning it is Vinicius who may receive a ticket to England or PSG.
Voices from the Stands: Applause Turns to Whistles
Social networks have erupted with a mix of irony and irritation. “Mbappé and Vini are incompatible, one of them must go,” sums up a popular comment. Other supporters brand the Brazilian “expensive trash” and advise “don’t drag that ego to Liverpool.” The fans’ reaction underlines that the credit of trust has run out.
Potential New Addresses
The media place Chelsea and Manchester at the top of the shortlist, both seeking a dazzling wide man. The price tag is unlikely to fall below €120 million, yet the English Premier League has long grown accustomed to astronomical tabs.
