The rumor comes after yet another episode of boos directed at the Brazilian, this time during the rout over Betis last Sunday. Vinícius has a contract with Real Madrid until June 2027 and has not yet reached an agreement for renewal. According to the English publication, the player is reportedly not satisfied at the Spanish club.

Also according to The Guardian, Real Madrid could use a potential sale of Vini Jr. to try to sign midfielder Adam Wharton, currently at Crystal Palace.

This season, Vini Jr. has only five goals and is experiencing a 15-match goal drought. Real Madrid returns to the field this Thursday at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), against Atlético de Madrid, in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup.
