Overview

- Cadena Ser, via CaughtOffside, reports the hierarchy is prioritising a new long-term contract, with Florentino Pérez describing Vinícius as non-transferable.
- Vinícius’s deal runs until June 2027, leaving one year after the 2025–26 season and increasing pressure to decide between a sale or renewal.
