Real Madrid are reportedly considering to let Vinicius Junior leave following tense contract negotiations with the Brazilian and his entourage.
Vinicius is said trying to strengthen the terms of his Real Madrid contract extension by using his agreement as leverage against a Saudi Arabian offer, which is supposedly nonexistent and that some staff of the club would be eager for him to accept.
One of the most talented players among Los Blancos’ galacticos, the Brazilian forward was rumored to be nearing a contract extension to stay at the Bernabeu.
Although Vinicius is one of the club’s highest paid players and his current contract is set to expire in 2027, the specifics of a new agreement have not yet been finalized.

The ongoing talks take place against the backdrop of an unsatisfactory season for the La Liga giants, who may finish the season without a silverware after losing the El Clasico on Sunday, all but guaranteeing Barcelona the title.
Vinicius was reportedly given a five-year contract worth £830 million to play in Saudi Arabia earlier this year. As part of the arrangement, he would also serve as an ambassador for the 2034 World Cup.
However, a recent Marca report has emphasized that the player is still a long way from finalizing the agreement and does not have a Saudi deal to solidify his negotiations with the Spanish giants.
The Spanish publication claims that there is still some discrepancy between Real Madrid’s expectations and the player’s proposed salary, which would raise his contract from less than £14.3 million (€17m) annually to an astounding £25.5 million (€30m).
