Real Madrid is not afraid of losing Vinicius Junior and is confident about renewing his contract
Club sees Brazilian as untouchable amid market speculation; talks already underway
Real Madrid remains fully confident in renewing Vinicius Junior’s contract, despite recent speculation about a potential departure. The Brazilian forward’s current deal runs until June 2027, and according to Diario AS, discussions for an extension are progressing smoothly.
Contrary to circulating transfer rumours, sources close to the club say there is no fear of losing the 25-year-old star, who was recently named FIFA’s Best Men’s Player.
Club views Vini Jr. as irreplaceable on and off the pitch
The Real Madrid board has no intention of entertaining offers for Vinicius Junior. Internally, the consensus is that no player on the market can match his technical ability and commercial impact. Replacing him would not only be tactically risky but also financially unfeasible, with top alternatives likely to cost over €150 million.
Vinicius, for his part, is committed to staying at the Bernabéu. The Brazilian believes in manager Xabi Alonso’s long-term project and considers Madrid the ideal environment for his continued growth in European football.
Recent criticism doesn’t impact renewal talks
Though Vinicius underperformed in the Club World Cup, scoring just once in the tournament, club officials consider such fluctuations normal in elite football. The forward was overshadowed by academy product Gonzalo García, who delivered standout performances.
Still, the club has made it clear that Vini Jr.’s role is not in doubt, and the temporary dip in form has no bearing on contract negotiations.
Vinicius and Rodrygo could go separate ways
For years, Vinicius and Rodrygo have been key pieces of Real Madrid’s attack. However, their partnership may soon end. While Vinicius is expected to remain in Spain, Rodrygo could leave during this transfer window.
Liverpool are leading the race for Rodrygo’s signature, with other Premier League clubs also closely monitoring his situation. The English club views the winger as a potential game-changer under new coach Arne Slot.
Real Madrid have not ruled out selling Rodrygo if the right offer rumoured to be in the range of €81 million comes in. A decision on his future is expected in the coming weeks.
