Farewell Approaching: José Félix Díaz Opens the Exit Door to a Real Madrid Star

The journalist reveals who could leave Real Madrid very soon

Real Madrid has a clear roadmap for the upcoming transfer markets. The executives led by Florentino Pérez are aware of the significant investment they must make to complete the generational change in the defensive line. The transfer of Trent Alexander-Arnold would be aimed in that direction.

Also, the acquisition of Alphonso Davies, a transfer that is about to "slip away" according to reports emerging both in Germany and Spain. In any case, Madrid's treasury will have to make a significant outlay in the coming years... which could involve the sale of a highly valued player by the European soccer elite.

The information published by José Félix Díaz would have revealed the player chosen to leave Santiago Bernabéu changing room: none other than Vinícius Jr. The possible exit of the '7' is not new in the Meringue key, because Saudi has been trying to get his services for some time. So far, they haven't succeeded, although there have been very concrete transfer proposals.

In any case, Vinícius is still a Real Madrid player in every respect. At least during the 24/25 season. At the end of the current soccer season, the Saudi Pro League will return to the charge to try to sign the Brazilian star. A disposition already known in the Valdebebas offices.

We'll see how it all ends

Therefore, according to José Félix Díaz, "Real Madrid will listen to the Brazilian's intentions, what he thinks, and how far he wants to go". The ideal situation, the MARCA journalist anticipates, is to have the São Gonçalo striker beyond the summer of 2027. The Madrid bosses are more than willing to renew the current 'The Best' for a few more years, covering the best seasons of his performance.

The internal debate seems to be on the other side. Vinícius "will have to make it clear if his desire is to continue succeeding in the Madrid team or to take refuge in the multimulti-million offer by Saudi Arabian soccer". This dilemma, with precedents set above 200 million euros like Cristiano Ronaldo's example with Al-Nassr, leaves Real Madrid in a very clear situation.

Because the Madrid board will not significantly increase its renewal proposal to Vinícius Jr. From the Valdebebas offices, they understand that, if he truly wishes to stay at the club, he will accept the new figure of his fees to continue making history in white. The alternative is to head toward Saudi Arabia, where Al-Hilal eagerly awaits to place him as the star of their team and grant him amounts of money never seen before.

If Vinícius doesn't stay at Real Madrid, his departure would be a headache. Because the entity would be fully entitled to demand the payment of a release clause valued at 1,000 million euros... or to exhaust the current contract of one of its best players until a free agent departure occurs at 26 years old.
