Vinicius Junior poised to leave Real Madrid in 2027

Vinicius Junior is prepared to leave Real Madrid in 2027 if a new contract is not reached. He is concentrating on the 2026 World Cup while his current deal has just over a year left. Negotiations between Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior’s representatives have continued for the past twelve months without success. The player has repeatedly said he wants to stay, but he will move on if his demands are not met. Real Madrid have so far refused to meet those demands. The club also faces the possible departure of Gonzalo Garcia this summer, adding to concerns over losing two key players without transfer fees. Losing Vinicius Junior in twelve months would be a significant blow. Real Madrid must decide whether to retain the Brazil international by any means. The accompanying image is credited to Buda Mendes.
