Vinicius has decided to pause his standoff with the white club and send a clear message from within. The Brazilian does not want to leave Real Madrid nor provoke an unnecessary break with the entity that has made him one of the great stars of LaLiga.

Around the Bernabeu, they assure that the attacker has understood that Florentino Pérez's patience has limits. Therefore, far from continuing to tighten the rope, his priority now is to close the renewal and regain sporting and emotional stability.

Vinicius accepts a change of script at Real Madrid

In recent days, there has been a significant shift in the player's stance. Vinicius would be willing to waive the renewal bonus he was demanding, a gesture that has been very well received by the Real Madrid board.

The Brazilian would sign a new contract for around 20 million euros annually if the club gives the final approval. A high figure, but manageable within the parameters that Florentino Pérez manages for his big references.

Xabi Alonso's message was not casual

Xabi Alonso's words in the press conference have had a deep impact. The coach spoke of reset, renewed energy, and a smile that reappears on Vinicius's face after a particularly demanding end of the year.

At Real Madrid, they interpret that the break has served for the player to reflect. The goal is clear: to enjoy again, compete with joy, and recover the decisive version that made him differential in LaLiga.

A step forward without Mbappé

The sporting context also pushes the Brazilian to react. Mbappé's absence places him as the main offensive reference of the team, a responsibility that Vinicius assumes as an opportunity to assert himself.

Breaking the streak of 14 goalless matches has become a personal obsession. The winger knows that his performance will be key to strengthen his position in the dressing room and accelerate the renewal with Real Madrid.

Vinicius sends a message of commitment

Beyond the boardrooms, the Brazilian wanted to express himself publicly. His New Year message, full of feeling and club references, was interpreted as a declaration of love for Real Madrid.

“Hala Madrid always!”, he wrote, making it clear that his intention is to succeed at the white club and not explore other options, despite the constant interest he generates in the international market.

The renewal, a matter of weeks

Although there are still details to be finalized, there is optimism at the club. Both sides agree that separating their paths is not a desired option. The will of Real Madrid and Vinicius is the same.

Florentino Pérez is willing to offer a significant salary, but without a signing bonus. The Brazilian, aware of the flexibility shown by the president, understands that it is not the time to push the limits further.

A key lesson in LaLiga

This episode can mark a point of maturity in Vinicius's career. Understanding the timing and internal rules of Real Madrid is essential to consolidate as a leader within LaLiga.

The Madrid team has always stood firm on the figures offered to the Brazilian and was very clear that if he did not renew, he would be sold in the upcoming transfer windows.
