In recent months there has been a very large amount of speculation around Vinicius Junior and his future has been as a Real Madrid player. Saudi Arabia is desperate to guarantee the services of the 24-year-old superstar, who has not fully committed itself to staying in the Santiago Bernabeu, although he has been in conversation to extend his contract after the end of his current deal in 2027.
Carlo Ancelotti told the media last week that he is 'tired' from the constant media -attention on Vinicius and Saudi Arabia, although these feelings will not be shared on the other side of the El Clasico Divide. Barcelona would love to keep Real Madrid to perhaps lose their best player, and those feelings were made clear by Joan Gaspart.
Gaspart, who was President of Barcelona between the 2000s and 2003, told Saudi-Arab Media-Outlet Al-Eqtisadiah (via Diario ALS) of his wish to see Vinicius to see the Middle East this summer.
“As a Barcelona supporter, I hope Vinicius accepts the Saudi offer. I hope it will be good enough to convince him. I hope he accepts it because he is one of the big players and his departure will be the best for Barcelona. He is a very fast player, with impressive dribbling, with a terrible character, but he is always very motivated by his team. “
Regardless of Gaspart's comments and Barcelona's position on this issue, Real Madrid seems to retain confidence in the services of Vinicius for many more years. They are not going to negotiate with Saudi Arabia, unless the player himself pushes hard before the move, which does not look at this stage.
The hope of Real Madrid is that Vinicius will agree with the club at the end of the season – if this happened, this would put an end to all the speculation around his future, and also his dedication to Los Blancos.
