Pedrerol reveals why Vinícius erased all traces of Real Madrid from social media

Real Madrid remains trapped in one of the sagas that seemed practically solved. Vinícius's contract renewal has become a matter of state in the Valdebebas offices for quite a few months now. That's why the white club's sporting management wanted to solve as soon as possible a process that's taking much longer than desired.

It's also leaving different reactions, especially from the player and his inner circle, which wouldn't help reach an agreement with the desired speed by the club's leadership. His performance on the field, which seems to have plummeted with no immediate recovery in sight, also plays a role in this dilemma.

One of the most significant changes is on Vinícius Jr.'s social media. The player quickly removed the pinned photos with the Champions League trophies won with Real Madrid and changed his profile picture. Many saw this gesture as a definitive distancing from the Madrid side, which even prompted a call from the upper echelons of Santiago Bernabéu.

The information published by Josep Pedrerol, on "El Chiringuito de Jugones," reveals Real Madrid's contact with Vinícius's personal and professional circle. The white club's bosses asked about that unexpected change, but there was a very quick answer: commitments with his communications agency.

It drags on over time

Once again, Vinícius has returned to the spotlight by posting another profile picture... in which he can be seen wearing Real Madrid's jersey, in a match from last season. Despite that gesture, Josep Pedrerol insists that the roadmap for Vinícius's contract renewal has undergone further changes.

Because "it was scheduled to be announced earlier", but "there's still a loose end" that would prevent the formalization of Vinícius's new contract. "It stayed, it was almost done, almost settled, they said: 'come on, since the Club World Cup is around the corner, we'll solve it'", the experienced journalist warns about this matter.

"I don't know if it's very important or not so important that there are still loose ends to solve, but for it to be ready to present or to announce the renewal", says Josep Pedrerol live on air. Especially if "some things need to be clarified before announcing it" definitively. "I've been told, after the Club World Cup, there'll be another conversation to finalize the renewal and it's not closed or signed", so the tension is at its peak in Valdebebas.

Josep Pedrerol assumes that "there won't be problems" to conclude this saga, although there are still some points left to reach an agreement between Real Madrid and Vinícius's circle. In any case, the issue of the '7' verdeamarelo's renewal continues to be widely discussed... at least until it's solved.
