Real Madrid could rethink Vinicius Junior future if renewal talks fail

Real Madrid clearly showed the seriousness with which they are approaching their next sporting project by quickly completing the signings of four new players. Even before the start of the transfer window, the Merengues have signed three new defenders to bolster one of the weaker areas of their team, i.e., the backline, and have also signed a midfielder, Bernardo Silva, to solve the problem of limited creativity from the midfield.

Meanwhile, one operation that continues to linger on for the white club is the renewal of the winger Vinicius Junior. The two parties have already spent several months negotiating his new contract, and despite the fact that only a single year is now left on his contract, they are still to arrive at an agreement.

Before the start of the World Cup, the Brazilian forward publicly expressed his intention to speak with the Spanish club for his renewal. It remains to be seen how these negotiations will end, but according to a report from Diario AS, if an agreement is not reached after the World Cup, Real Madrid would start considering their options.

For now, both sides have shown their willingness to continue working together. The player himself has done so in his several media talks, while the Merengue president Florentino Perez also made this clear during his recent election campaign.

Even if a renewal agreement is not reached, the Brazilian is not expected to leave this summer, and the white club is not ruling out the possibility of him leaving after fulfilling his contract. However, they will have to consider the significant revenue he brings with his global stature as a superstar, and even if they are able to replace him on the pitch, it would be difficult to get another star as big as Vinicius Junior, if the two parties are unable to arrive at an agreement.
