Africa-Press – Lesotho. Real Madrid is reportedly prepared to let Vinicius Jr. leave the club without receiving a transfer fee, as negotiations for a contract extension have stalled. The Brazilian star’s deal expires in June 2027, and disagreements over salary have created a stalemate.
Real Madrid has stated that Vinicius Jr.’s wages will not exceed those of Kylian Mbappé, while interest from Saudi clubs could meet the player’s financial demands.
The club’s approach is a calculated move to pressure Vinicius Jr. into accepting the current offer if he wishes to stay. According to Spanish media outlets, including El Chiringuito de Jugones and Cadena SER, negotiations have been postponed until after the season, and Real Madrid appears willing to take the risk of seeing the player leave for free rather than exceeding their wage limits.
While this strategy may succeed in convincing Vinicius Jr. to renew, it also carries risks. Losing one of their key forwards without compensation would leave the club facing a significant financial and sporting challenge. Real Madrid’s management seems prepared to accept these consequences while hoping the player ultimately chooses to remain.
