Guardiola challenges all European clubs, but only after Real Madrid’s final decision on Vinicius Jr

Real Madrid are facing renewed uncertainty over the future of Vinicius Junior, with reports in Spain suggesting that negotiations to extend his current deal which runs until 2027 — have completely stalled.

According to Fichajes.net, the club and the player remain far apart on financial terms. While Madrid are eager to secure long-term renewal, Vinicius is reportedly demanding salary that matches that of teammate Kylian Mbappe, a figure that the club hierarchy has so far resisted.

Premier League temptation

Numerous reports indicate that the Brazilian player is captivated by the English Premier League. These same reports also claim that Manchester City has already contacted the player's representatives advising him against renewing his contract with Real Madrid at this time and promising him lucrative offer next summer.

It is said that Pep Guardiola views Vinicius as long-term successor to Jack Grealish and that the English champions are prepared to challenge any European rival should Real Madrid's position weaken.

Real Madrid have placed initial valuation of €150 million on Vinicius making any potential transfer one of the most expensive in football history.
