Real Madrid set to sell Vinícius Júnior, Flamengo could cash in massively | OneFootball

Why did Real Madrid (ESP) decide to sell Vinicius Júnior?

One of the biggest names in world football, Vinicius Júnior is experiencing a ‘delicate’ situation behind the scenes at Real Madrid (ESP). After disagreements with coach Xabi Alonso, the Brazilian is expected to be sold by the Spanish club.

According to information from the German newspaper ‘Sport Bild‘, Real Madrid has decided to negotiate Vini Jr in the next transfer window, at the start of 2026. The club’s president, Florentino Pérez, felt that the player had crossed the line after a series of behaviors considered ‘extravagant’.

What is Vini Jr’s contract situation?

At the moment, Vinicius Júnior has a contract with Real Madrid until June 2027. Despite the desire to negotiate the forward, the Spanish club should extend the player’s contract in order to preserve the Brazilian’s market value, which is estimated at 150 million euros (R$ 925 million).

And Flamengo?

Amid the possible departure of Vini Jr in the next window, Flamengo, the club where the forward was developed, is keeping an eye on the situation. After all, due to FIFA’s solidarity mechanism, Mengão is entitled to a share of the transfer fee.

Vini Jr. was at Flamengo from age 12 to 18, when he moved to Real Madrid, which accounts for 2.5% of any future transfer. Thus, if the forward is sold for his market value, Rubro-Negro would receive R$ 23.1 million.

What happened between Vini Jr and Xabi Alonso?

Vinicius Júnior started in Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over Barcelona (ESP) on October 26. However, the Flamengo academy graduate left the clásico halfway through the second half and was very upset with the substitution, showing his discontent on the field.

Because of this, Vini Jr ended up being forced to apologize to coach Xabi Alonso and the squad, both publicly and internally. However, the Brazilian’s attitude did not lessen the internal discontent at Real Madrid.
