Real Madrid has to deal with the fallout of the disappointing 4-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup, which ended their involvement in the tournament in the semi-final phase. And part of that fallout is aimed at Vinicius Junior.
It has been reported that Real Madrid is not impressed by Vinicius' efforts on the field, for which he must be punished. And this could have had a domino effect with regard to his future in the Santiago Bernabeu.
In recent months, Real Madrid has worked on the agreement with a new contract with Vinicius, who has attracted strong interest in clubs in Saudi Arabia. It has been reported that an agreement has been reached, with the idea that it will be signed later this summer – but that no longer seems to be the case.
According to El Chiringuito, the situation is now in the dark. Real Madrid does not yet have to conclude a contract with Vinicius with regard to completing his new contract that the player is not in a hurry to sign.
Real Madrid is still expected to count on Vinicius despite a poor form of form in the last 12 months or so, but Kylian Mbappe has replaced him as the golden boy of the club. And there is a chance that things can change this.
This can develop into a very disturbing situation for Real Madrid, who certainly does not want to lose Vinicius for a reduced price – which they may have to take into account if this situation rumbles without the contract being signed. There will be no panic for now, but that can change if it continues for at least 6-12 months.
