Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has reportedly been advised to sell star forward Vinicius Jr. despite his impressive performances on the field. The Brazilian winger has been a prominent figure in Madrid, but speculation about his future continues to swirl, especially following the controversy surrounding the club’s absence at the Ballon d’Or event, a decision reportedly made by Pérez.
Reports that surfaced over the summer suggested that Vinicius could earn up to €1 billion over five years if he moved to Saudi Arabia, further fueling rumors about his departure. However, the 24-year-old has expressed his desire to “stay at Real Madrid forever,” with some sources, like Football Espana, indicating ongoing discussions between the player and the club.
Despite this, an increasing number of voices within Pérez’s circle, including his son Chivo, who has gained more influence both inside the club and in Pérez’s business dealings, are recommending that Vinicius be sold. The reasoning is that Mbappé’s preferred position on the left wing, combined with the club’s financial issues, could be resolved by moving Vinicius to make room for the French star.

While no deal is imminent, the groundwork appears to be laid for Vinicius’ potential departure. Despite being Madrid’s standout player this season, the Brazilian is not immune to criticism, and the idea of a high-profile move, possibly to a lucrative league, may eventually tempt him to leave Europe’s top football scene.
