Chelsea dreams of Vinicius Jr. and does not give up against Saudi Arabia.

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The tension begins 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 by demanding a pay raise that makes him the highest-paid player in 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 Santiago Bernabéu, the exit door will be opened 'wide'.

The 'soap opera' would be entering a dead end where the only way out is the departure of the LaLiga forward, 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.

Chelsea dreams big with Vinicius

Although, initially, Saudi Arabia appears as the most likely destination for the winger, as they have already made him an offer that would make him the highest-paid footballer in history, Chelsea has joined the bidding and will do everything possible to secure the services of the Brazilian.

According to the portal 'TBR Football', the London club is a great admirer of Vinicius and, if the opportunity arises, they are willing to make a significant effort to incorporate him into Enzo Maresca's squad. As of today, the operation seems difficult due to the Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) of the Premier League, which would limit the team's spending capacity, but they are already analyzing ways to be able to afford the signing of the '7' from Madrid.

At Stamford Bridge, they are confident in convincing the winger with the competitive project they are building under the Italian coach and the possibility of playing in a more than attractive league like the English one, and although, for now, there have been no movements regarding the possible transfer of the player, the 'soap opera' could heat up in the coming weeks if the agreement between the forward and Madrid continues to be delayed.
