Real Madrid is already thinking about a future without Vinicius: two stars in sight

The tension is starting to rise between Vinicius Jr. and Real Madrid. The Brazilian's contract expires in 2027, and the club's idea is to extend it until 2029, but negotiations will not be easy. The winger shares the highest salary tier of the squad alongside Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé, but he would be willing to challenge the club demanding a pay raise that would make him the highest paid at the club.

The Madrid institution, for its part, remains firm in its policy that all players are necessary, but none are indispensable, and the '7' will not be the exception. If both parties cannot reach an agreement, since the board, led by Florentino Pérez, will not yield to his demands, and the player asks to leave the Santiago Bernabéu, the exit door will be opened wide.

'Vini' has a staggering offer from Arab football in his pocket, which he would be using as leverage to outmaneuver Madrid and secure a salary increase, but the Madridistas have no intention of compromising their financial health, and if in the past this possibility was denied to Cristiano Ronaldo, the same outcome will occur with the South American.

The 'soap opera' seems to be entering an alley where the only exit is the forward's departure to the Middle East, and although they want him to stay in Chamartín, they will not hinder his departure as long as he leaves a figure in the club's coffers that does not drop below 250 million euros, as reported by 'SPORT'.

The two possible substitutes for Vinicius at Madrid

In this sense, the Madrid sports management is already preparing for a future without the Brazilian in their ranks, and with a significant amount of 'cash' in their accounts, they would go for a 'big fish'. Two young stars are being monitored by the whites, and they are none other than Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams.

The option of the Navarrese seems logical for various reasons. Firstly, his signing would be cheaper, as his release clause is valued at 60 million euros. Additionally, he would occupy the position that Vinicius would leave vacant and, above all, would increase the Spanish representation in a squad increasingly filled with foreigners, reasons for which his name would have an advantage in the search, although clubs like FC Barcelona and Arsenal are also after him.

The German, for his part, is a very serious temptation for the whites, even more so if Xabi Alonso takes the reins of the team. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is one of the greatest talents of the moment, but the main obstacle to his operation is that he would occupy the same position as Jude Bellingham on the field, thus causing a significant tactical clash. However, his option remains on the table of a Madrid that is increasingly 'fed up' with the problems that Vinicius continues to cause.
