Real Madrid sets condition for "Vini" to leave.
The future of Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior with Real Madrid is surrounded by uncertainty, as the player enters the final year of his contract with the Spanish club.
The Spanish newspaper "Sport" reported that Florentino Pérez, the president of Real Madrid, has set a non-negotiable condition for "Vini's" departure, stating that the offer must reach 160 million euros, including the fixed fee and add-ons. If the amount is less than that, the club will not enter into any negotiations.
This comes amid a strained relationship between the club and the player, whose contract ends in June 2027, as negotiations for an extension have stalled for months. Meanwhile, the website "The Athletic" mentioned that English club Arsenal is interested in signing the player, who is considered one of the top candidates to strengthen their attacking line.
The Spanish newspaper clarified that Arsenal's interest in the player is still in its early stages, as the English club will not move to sign him unless it is confirmed that he will not renew his contract with Real Madrid. Vinícius is an important player in Arsenal's project under Spanish coach Mikel Arteta, having scored 128 goals and provided 100 assists, despite being only 26 years old.
Both parties, Real Madrid and Vinícius, had agreed to meet at the end of July to finalize the renewal of his contract, but negotiations have not progressed, and the Spanish club may be willing to listen to offers for his departure, under the conditions set by Florentino Pérez.
