The past season was marked by tensions, both on and off the field, for Real Madrid, with changes of coach, disagreements between players and, above all, no trophies won. In this context, market rumors are emerging involving the club's most valuable players, including Vinícius Jr., whose contract ends in a year and has not yet been renewed.
Premier League and Middle Eastern clubs are watching the situation with great interest. Florentino Pérez, who is running for reelection as president of the Spanish club, was clear in an interview with El País about the striker's situation: "If Vinícius doesn't want to stay at Real Madrid and wants to sign with another club, he is free to do so. I don't force anyone."
Regarding the compatibility between Vinícius and Mbappé, Pérez said: "It's absurd. They are the two best in the world." The president also highlighted that money was never the priority: "Is Vinícius' contract expiring in a year? There is time: I would like him to stay forever." This message of affection was addressed to Vinícius, who last season scored 22 goals and 14 assists in all competitions, helping to win the last two Champions Leagues.
Pérez concluded: "Do you know who doesn't value Vinícius? Who isn't a Real Madrid fan." However, questions about the delay in renewal persist, with speculation that the player is asking for an exorbitant salary: "He's a star, they say he's asking for too much, but that's a lie."
