La Liga
The total crisis facing Real Madrid has led to a drastic decision by Florentino Pérez, who has abruptly halted the renewal of Vinícius following the elimination against Albacete. The Merengue club is experiencing tense days after suffering painful defeats in the Super Cup against Barcelona and the recent swift dismissal of Xabi Alonso.
The Copa defeat in Álvaro Arbeloa's debut was the final trigger for the board to point to the Brazilian winger as one of the main culprits of the current crisis. The performance of the Brazilian attacker this season falls far below expectations, showing an alarming lack of accuracy and leadership in crucial moments. Faced with this situation, the club's leader has decided not to yield to the player's financial demands, as he was demanding a salary close to thirty million euros. Real Madrid believes that granting such a large contract to a player clearly in decline would be a strategic error that would weigh down the future of the club.
The definitive rupture between Florentino Pérez and his former star
The Madrid president was always the biggest supporter of the young talent from Flamengo, but the lack of commitment and effectiveness on the field has exhausted his patience.
Currently, the contractual bond of the white number seven expires in the summer of 2027, forcing the club to make an immediate decision to avoid a free departure. The negotiations to extend his stay in Concha Espina are completely broken, making it clear that the player's time in the Spanish capital is nearing its end. Within the team, there is a perception that the football partnership with Kylian Mbappé has not yielded the expected results, creating a tactical imbalance that hinders the group. The white executive is convinced that the team needs a profound restructuring where the focus shifts to profiles that align better with the style of the French forward.
Real Madrid sets a price on Vinícius for the summer market
The sports planning already considers a scenario without the Brazilian, who will be formally placed on the transfer list as soon as the summer transfer window opens. From the top ranks of the Bernabéu, it is understood that the player's market value remains high, allowing for a million-euro sale to facilitate new strategic signings.
The humiliation suffered at the Carlos Belmonte against Albacete evidenced that certain key players no longer meet the technical requirements demanded by the badge. Vinícius was unable to lead the attack in a game where his authority should have prevailed, confirming the doubts Arbeloa expressed to the board in his initial report. The player's circle is already aware of the board's firm stance and is beginning to explore potential destinations in the Premier League or the emerging Arabian market. The Madridista fans also show signs of fatigue with the player's behavior, preferring a departure that would rejuvenate the front line and restore internal stability.
A new direction in Valdebebas
The destiny of the South American star seems far from Chamartín, marking a turning point in managing a squad that needs to regain its lost path. Florentino Pérez will not allow the salary demands of a questioned player to hinder the progress of a project aiming to dominate once again in Europe and Spain. The summer of 2026 will initiate a new phase where discipline and goal-scoring efficiency will be top priorities to lift major trophies again.
Vinícius's departure will signal the end of a personal wager by the president that, after touching glory, has crumbled under the weight of reality. The white revolution has already commenced, and no one seems to have a secure position following the recent embarrassments in national competitions against theoretically inferior rivals.
