Man Utd are hovering after contract talks between Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr stalled
According to a rumor, the Brazilian has a massive €1 billion contract offer on the table, and Manchester United is one of three massive European clubs after Vinicius Jr.
Real Madrid is reportedly determined to prevent one disastrous situation at all costs.
Vinicius Jr.’s second-place performance in the 2024 Ballon d’Or shows that he is one of the top football players in the world.
Although the Manchester City maestro is a worthy winner, many people, particularly those at Real Madrid, thought the winger should have won the prize instead of Rodri.
Vinicius had wanted to use his expected Ballon d’Or victory as leverage in talks with Real Madrid over a new deal, according to a recent report from Spanish publication Relevo.
Vinicius’ current deal expires in 2027 and Real Madrid are desperate to ensure they don’t repeat the same mistakes PSG made with Kylian Mbappe.
PSG lost arguably the world’s most valuable footballer to free agency earlier this year. Los Blancos were the benefactor in that saga and they’re adamant the same scenario won’t happen with Vinicius.
That is the reason why Real Madrid opened talks over an extension with Vinicius roughly three years before his current deal expires. However, Vinicius has reportedly put talks on ice and as yet, no date has been set for discussions to resume.
The situation – given Real Madrid will sell the player if they have to rather than lose him for nothing – has alerted three European giants.
Relevo add Man Utd, Chelsea and PSG are all tracking Vinicius’ situation in Spain. Of the three, Real Madrid would least like to sell to PSG given the ill-feeling between those two clubs after the Mbappe saga.
Another solution for Real Madrid and Vinicius is Saudi Arabia. Per the report, Vinicius already has a five-year contract offer worth €1billion (€200m per season / approx. €3.85m per week) on the table.
Could Vinicius Jr really leave Real Madrid?
The report was keen to stress Real Madrid do not want to lose Vinicius Jr.
Despite the arrival of Mbappe, Vinicius remains a crucial player for the club and he’s described as ‘a cornerstone of the project for years to come.’
Real Madrid’s ideal outcome is Vinicius commits his long-term future to the club. What’s more, Relevo added Vinicius could easily see himself playing the rest of his playing career at The Bernabeu.
