Enrique Sanz Florentino makes a firm decision about Vinícius, only two options on the table
The President is certain that next summer Vinicius will have two options: renew his contract or leave on a transfer
Vinícius Júnior's future at Real Madrid is entering a crucial phase. The board has made a firm decision: there are only two possible paths for the Brazilian. He must either renew his contract before June 2026 or be transferred.
There will be no room for ambiguity. Florentino Pérez won't allow one of the team's main stars to leave for free when his contract ends. The club's priority is to protect its sporting and financial assets.
Vinícius is under contract until 2027, but there is a review clause that will expire in June 2026. That will be the key moment to make a final decision. If there is no agreement before that date, Real Madrid will open the door to a sale.
The club doesn't want to repeat situations like those of Sergio Ramos or Marco Asensio, footballers who left without bringing in a single euro. The idea with Vini is clear: either commitment to the project or goodbye with a multi-million sale.
The club expects a response on the field
Now the ball is in the player's court. Vinícius wants to feel recognized and valued at the level of Europe's top football stars, but the club is asking him for more consistency.
His performance last season was far from decisive. Although he remains a key footballer, the board believes that he must recover the form that amazed in the 2022 and 2024 Champions Leagues. Only then would an improved contract be justified.
Florentino Pérez, with the support of the coaching staff and the sporting management, has chosen to make his position clear. Vini must focus on soccer and earn any contract improvement on the field.
For now, he isn't for sale. If there is no progress in the coming months and a huge offer arrives, it will be considered. Clubs like PSG or Manchester City have already shown interest, although Madrid still trusts the footballer to get back on track.
Renew or leave: the clock is already ticking
This summer will be decisive in setting the direction for the coming years. Vinícius still has time to reaffirm his commitment to the club that bet on him when he was just 18 years old. The board isn't mincing words. Renew or leave, there are only two paths and the clock has already started ticking.
