La Liga
The present of Vinicius Jr at Real Madrid is more questioned than ever. After a Club World Cup to forget, crowned with a painful thrashing suffered against PSG, the Brazilian winger has been singled out in the white team's dressing room. Florentino Pérez, club president, no longer considers one of the players who until recently represented the future of the club untouchable. The divorce with part of the Madrid fanbase is beginning to be evident, and patience in the top echelons has run out.
Vinicius Jr, on the way out
The performances of the Brazilian in recent matches have been alarming. Beyond the technical errors, his lack of connection on the field with Kylian Mbappé has raised alarm bells at Valdebebas. The expected offensive partnership between both stars has not worked, and that football mismatch is seriously affecting the collective performance. Vinicius, far from taking the lead, seems to have lost confidence and spark in the most decisive moments.
The bad moment of the former Flamengo player has coincided with an increasingly hostile environment. Criticism from the press continues, and part of the club environment already sees a possible transfer in a positive light if a tempting enough offer arrives. Saudi Arabia could emerge as an unexpected but economically irresistible destination. With a market willing to spend astronomical amounts, it would not be unreasonable for a Saudi club to try to persuade Real Madrid with an off-market figure.
Vinicius still has a contract and age to reverse the situation, but the signals from the board are clear: if a serious proposal comes from the Middle East, his departure will be considered. The margin for error has narrowed, and today, the Brazilian is closer to the exit ramp than to leading the Madrid project.
