Real Madrid sets price for Vinícius's exit: 150 million

Real Madrid has surprised the market by leaving open the possibility of selling Vinícius Júnior next year if his renewal is not confirmed. According to Defensa Central, the club would be willing to accept an offer of 150 million euros, a figure that would mark a turning point in the relationship between the player and the club.

Renewal in doubt: What will happen with Vinícius?

The initial intention of both parties is to extend the contract, but the negotiation is not progressing. There is a feeling within the board that the Brazilian has not kept his word after a previous verbal agreement. Concern at the Bernabéu is that by the summer of 2026, the striker could have only one year left on his contract, which would decrease his market value and force the club to make drastic decisions.

The precedent of Mbappé in 2022 looms over the situation. The club suspects that the Brazilian may aim to become a free agent by 2027 to choose his destination and secure a signing bonus, whether at Madrid itself or another European giant.

Vinícius's drop in performance

The contractual uncertainty coincides with a decline in the player's level. Part of the fans are critical of his performance in recent months, pointing out that he is not the decisive player who shone in Champions League finals and clásicos.

Some fans compare him to the stability of Rodri, the current Ballon d'Or holder, whose consistency has made the difference. However, the majority still support Vinícius, remembering that he arrived at 18, endured criticisms, and eventually established himself as one of the best wingers in the world.

Real Madrid's stance

The official discourse in Valdebebas is that "nothing is decided." Nevertheless, they are preparing for all scenarios. If the renewal does not materialize, the club would be willing to sell him for 150 million, understanding that retaining a player with only a year left on his contract would be risky.

One executive summed it up in statements collected by Defensa Central: "The priority is for Vinícius to stay, but not at any price. Madrid has always put itself above the players, and this will not be an exception."

The situation poses a genuine dilemma for the club and the player. The transfer market could be shaken by the availability of a player of this caliber, but there is also the possibility of reaching an agreement that restores tranquility to the dressing room.

At 25, Vinícius Júnior is still in a crucial stage of his career. The Madridismo hopes that the Brazilian will regain his best form and set aside contractual doubts to once again be the player who decided titles with his speed, flair, and character.
