Former Real Madrid Employee Predicts Vinícius's Future and What Florentino Will Do

This former Real Madrid employee reveals what could happen with the Madrid's "7"

Real Madrid has turned Vinícius into the absolute leader of the team both on and off the field. The Brazilian center-forward is the most decisive player in the European elite. Something that has been rewarded in recent weeks with the  "The Best" and the Globe Soccer Awards.

He's also scored several goals in important games... although it's true he couldn't be in the game against Sevilla due to an accumulation of yellow cards. It's not like his teammates needed him, judging by the final score of the game held at Santiago Bernabéu.

However, Vinícius's future is once again under discussion after the renewal attempts experienced in the past. Executives led by Florentino Pérez tried to extend the stay of the '7' in Santiago Bernabéu changing room. But Vinícius's professional circle dismissed the idea: it was too soon; Vinícius wants to wait for an undetermined moment to sign a new contract.

That strategy of holding out has a clear objective: to achieve greater financial remuneration, approaching the record salary that Kylian Mbappé has at Real Madrid. A former scout of the entity presided over by Pérez makes it clear that Vinícius's departure is much more real than it seems.

He's very clear about it

Because Manolo Romero, a former worker of the white club, emphasizes that Vinícius "would leave" if a very important offer from Saudi soccer came. "If they come with more than 300 millions, I'm convinced Florentino will sell him, that he'll even drive him to the airport in his car", says the former scout of the white club.

According to the former worker of the Madrid club, Florentino Pérez would accept the sale of Vinícius for that amount because "300 million is a lot of money". At the same time, he understands that "Florentino's favorite is going to be Mbappé. He's been after him for seven years", looking for him every summer in every 'case' episode until finally securing his transfer as a free agent six months ago.

Vinícius's situation at Real Madrid remains in a delicate balance that surprises many. Especially due to the harassment coming from Arab soccer, launching multimillion-dollar offers that set off alarms in the Valdebebas offices. Especially because the current contract of the '7' blanco ends in the summer of 2027.

There's not as much time as it seems until that date arrives. Real Madrid is waiting for Vinícius at the negotiating table to secure a renewal that will definitively ward off Saudi Arabia. But in Vinícius's circle, recently crowned as 'The Best' and Intercontinental Cup champion, there doesn't seem to be much hurry to secure his future as a Madridist.
