Vinicius toys with Real Madrid's nerves

With one year left on his contract, Vinicius Jr is refusing to rush his decision and is determined to remain the sole master of his Madrid destiny.

The countdown is speeding up at Real Madrid. As the contract deadline draws closer, the possibility of Vinicius Jr leaving is gaining momentum, according to reports from the Spanish daily AS.

🚨 BREAKING: Real Madrid want a QUICK SOLUTION from Vini Jr. on his renewal, either IN OR OUT.

Both parties want to STAY together, but it’s NO LONGER about what they want, it’s a FINANCIAL question, a NEGOTIATION.

However, the Brazilian has made up his mind: no sale will be considered this summer. The idea of a transfer continues to resurface in the Spanish press—an operation that would allow the Merengue club to cash in, rather than lose him for free in a year. Nevertheless, the Seleção winger wants to give himself time to freely choose between extending his contract or leaving on a free next season.
