Historic blow from Haaland's agent to Vinícius: 'I think it's low level'

Apart from the activity in the last few days of the transfer window, the Valdebebas offices are still determined to solve the most important saga for Real Madrid. Talks for Vinícius's contract renewal haven't progressed as desired so far: reaching an agreement now seems practically impossible.

Meanwhile, the executives led by Florentino Pérez rethink their strategy to convince the São Gonçalo forward, the prospect of a sale during the summer transfer window of 2026 suddenly emerges. After all, the Merengue bosses would like to obtain some financial return from the departure of the Brazilian "7".

Rafaela Pimienta would share that same idea. The former lawyer, heiress to the entire Mino Raiola client portfolio, hasn't hesitated to express her opinion about Vinícius's current situation. "I think a player shouldn't leave a team on a free transfer, it seems to me, in my opinion, to be top-level", says Rafaela Pimienta regarding these cases.

Free transfers don't seem to be the most favored by the agent of players like Erling Haaland... to the point that she considers these Bosman law transfers as "top-level. He hasn't done it, I hope he's not going to do it because I think the players who do it, most of the time, do it with parallel financial interests".

Interesting analysis

Rafaela Pimienta doesn't hesitate to point out that those players "put themselves in a difficult situation". That's why she makes it clear that "if I were Vinícius's agent, I'd surely try until the end to reach an agreement, a renewal" to extend the stay of the verdeamarelo striker in Madrid.

If Vinícius has decided to leave Santiago Bernabéu locker room, that move can't be made just any way. Erling Haaland's agent keeps that the best method is to "organize a departure, but organize it with class and elegance. It's like a divorce, you can do it one way or another", alluding to the way of parting ways with his current club, Real Madrid in this case.

For Rafaela Pimienta, Vinícius's departure would be ideal if the footballer presents an offer that leaves some money in Santiago Bernabéu coffers. Especially because "everyone wins" and the Carioca forward shows "respect to those who gave you respect and believed in you when you were very young. I think it's normal", the former lawyer concludes on the matter.

This way, this brief analysis of the "Vinícius case" adds to the dozens of comments and opinions collected in recent weeks regarding the "7"'s situation. Doubts about his future will be solved at the end of the current season, a stage that Xabi Alonso will use to scrutinize his performance on the field... and issue his own assessment of the Brazilian footballer.
