Edu Aguirre Shakes Up Real Madrid with an Incendiary Message About Vinícius

One of the sagas worrying the offices at Valdebebas is the future of Vinícius Jr. The verdeamarelo footballer, second in the Ballon d'Or and winner of 'The Best' in 2024, rejected an initial approach from Real Madrid in October of last year. The resumed talks, which several media outlets reported on recently, have also yielded a noteworthy verdict.

Because according to Mario Cortegana's information, Vinícius and his camp have decided to reject the club's second approach regarding his renewal. It still seems too early for a state of alert to be established in the white hierarchy, but those two consecutive rejections are starting to generate some debate even among Madridists.

This unease being experienced at Real Madrid, in one of many ways, has sparked a debate on 'El Chiringuito de Jugones'. Edu Aguirre warns that "the only possibility for Vinícius to leave Madrid is to Arabia. And this summer there's going to be trouble with Arabia", reveals the journalist and panelist.

Edu Aguirre's warning about Saudi Arabia's attempts to acquire Vinícius's footballing services is not a surprise. Many media outlets have revealed that teams like Al-Hilal would be seeking his signing for the summer of 2025 through multimillion-dollar offers. Real Madrid, unfazed by these supposed advances, remains firm and demands the payment of the release clause to transfer Vinícius.

Complicated Situation

At least while he has a contract with the white club, a circumstance that extends until the summer of 2027. Edu Aguirre maintains that "there's going to be trouble with Arabia" based on his information. "Because Vinícius told them 'I'm going to win the Ballon d'Or,' which he didn't, 'and we'll see what happens in the summer'", the journalist recalls.

Based on that conversation, Edu Aguirre confidently asserts that "Arabia is going to go after Vinícius" to try to take the star from São Gonçalo away from the white club. The offices at Valdebebas are trying to remedy that situation as soon as possible, resolving a debate as unexpected as it is important for the future of the sports project.

BecauseVinícius is one of the team's leaders both on and off the field. His growth since arriving at the Madridist entity has been unparalleled, abilities that have positioned him as the most decisive footballer in European soccer currently. Now that the Champions League is approaching, he would be looking to reclaim and recover that prominent position.

Not only with a view to a possible departure to Saudi Arabia. Also for his renewal with Real Madrid, as his salary demands could be significantly increased to ensure his stay with the Merengue team. The executives led by Florentino Pérez, however, promise strong negotiations to get closer to his ideal salary proposal.
