Reports of Vinicius Junior’s potential departure from Real Madrid are intensifying, with suggestions that Florentino Perez, the club’s president, might be open to the Brazilian leaving at the end of the season.
Journalist Romain Molina claims this move could pave the way for Kylian Mbappé to take over the left flank, a position Mbappé has excelled in during Vinicius’ absence through injury.
Saudi clubs are reportedly monitoring Vinicius closely, with lucrative offers on the table that could make the 23-year-old one of the highest-paid players globally.
However, the player’s representatives have firmly denied these rumours.
Speaking to Spanish media, the Vinicius camp dismissed any notion of discussions with Saudi clubs, contradicting Molina’s reports.
Despite the journalist’s reputation for reliability, no formal negotiations or indications of a transfer have been confirmed.
Vinicius has been a key figure at Real Madrid since joining in 2018, contributing significantly to their domestic and European success.
Speculation over his future will likely continue as the season progresses and the club assesses its roster ahead of a potential rebuild.
The links between Perez’s ambition to sign Mbappé and Vinicius’ potential exit underscore the evolving dynamics at Real Madrid, as the club looks to balance its squad while remaining competitive at the highest level.
