Brazilian forward Vinícius Júnior has received an ultimatum from Real Madrid's president, Florentino Pérez: either he agrees to renew his contract or he will be transferred next summer. Although his current deal expires in 2027, June has been set as the deadline for him to decide his future.

Real Madrid's Roadmap with Vinícius Júnior

Real Madrid's goal with Vinícius Júnior is clear: extending his stay at the club beyond 2030 through negotiations in the coming months. However, as reported by journalist Iván Martín, if no agreement is reached before the end of the season, the club will resort to Plan B: selling the Brazilian to avoid the risk of losing him for free. According to Eduardo Inda on El Chiringuito, the club has already embraced the decision of "renew or sell."

The emphasis on the future tells it all: Vinícius Júnior arrived at the club at just 18 years old, has become a key player in the attack, and his current age of 25 suggests extending his winning cycle. Real Madrid believes he is settled in the Spanish capital and can continue being part of an elite squad. The intention is clear: securing them before they become a free agent.

Friction, Figures, and Differential Treatment

In the white team's locker room, there is a mix of disappointment and pragmatism. On one hand, the board laments what they perceive as a "differential treatment" towards Vinícius Júnior—both financially and personally—and an attitude that, at least internally, has been lacking. They envisioned a smooth renewal scenario, but the player's economic demands have diverged from what the club was willing to accept.

Florentino Pérez is not looking to give anything away: there won't be a renewal bonus, the wage ceiling is set, and the financial structure does not allow for skyrocketing salaries for a single player. If Vinícius Júnior's intentions do not align with Real Madrid's direction, the club will let the Brazilian go without drama.

Where Does Xabi Alonso Fit into This Scenario?

Xabi Alonso's role indirectly impacts the entire scenario: as Real Madrid's coach, his role affects Vinícius Júnior's environment. If the Brazilian feels comfortable with the project and convinced of its direction, the renewal is more likely to succeed. However, if the sporting or protagonism situation becomes ambiguous, doubts can fuel the "renew or leave" dilemma at the club.

Florentino Pérez and Xabi Alonso hold the key: the president sets the economic and continuity conditions, while the coach manages the player's daily life. If there is no agreement, and Xabi Alonso maintains his stance in defining the team's future, Real Madrid may opt for a selling operation rather than letting Vinícius Júnior leave for free.

What Scenarios Are Envisioned?

  1. Accepted Renewal: Vinícius Júnior would sign a new contract until 2030 or later, with the club's backing and guaranteed continuity.

  2. Imminent Sale: If no agreement is reached by June, Real Madrid would open his exit in the summer market, profiting economically rather than risking losing the player without compensation.

The club wants no more delays: the path is clear. Florentino Pérez has made it clear, the ultimatum is on the table. The ball is in Vinícius Júnior's court. In any case, Real Madrid will maintain its course and not jeopardize its project for one of its stars.
