Real Madrid are staring at the possibility of parting ways with superstar forward Vinicius Jr. in the near future.
Vinicius’ contract with Real Madrid expires in June 2027 and talks over a renewal have stalled. The 25-year-old’s salary and bonus demands are seen as an obstacle, while recent reports claim that the player does not wish to commit to an extension with Xabi Alonso at the club.
After all, there is great tension between Alonso and Vinicius, over the manager’s treatment of the player and reluctance to hand him ‘untouchable’ status in the team.
This situation has prompted Premier League giants to step forward in case they can take advantage of Real Madrid’s unstable waters.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, for his part, wants to renew Vinicius. He is also surprised by Alonso’s rotation of the Brazilian.
Perez maintains public silence regarding the player’s future, but inside the club hierarchy there is dissatisfaction with how the situation is being managed.
If the situation does not change, Real Madrid will have to consider selling Vinicius next summer instead of losing him for free in 2027, when his contract expires, with Liverpool and Manchester United attentive to the situation.
In case the Brazilian international maintains his position in the summer and requests a transfer, the fee would exceed €100 million even though would then have only one year left on his contract.
It is a significant sum, but Perez is not considering a sale for now, preferring to wait for Alonso and Vinicius to resolve their problems and for the Brazilian to soften his stance on a renewal.
