Reports Link Man United to €150m Move for Vinicius Junior as Real Madrid Talks Stall
Contract talks are paused, fueling talk of a 2026 exit under Xabi Alonso’s tenure.
Overview
- Fichajes, via CaughtOffside, reports Manchester United are considering a €150 million bid for the 25-year-old and have contacted his representatives.
- Defensa Central, cited by Yahoo Sports, claims United could receive authorization for a €200 million outlay in 2026, though Real Madrid’s priority remains a renewal.
- Football Insider’s line, relayed by Yahoo and Football Talk, suggests a potential £80 million price in 2026 if Madrid opt to sell rather than risk a 2027 free departure.
- Coverage across outlets says renewal talks are on hold and cites tension with coach Xabi Alonso as a factor, with reports noting reduced starts and high-profile substitutions.
- Despite the uncertainty, Vinicius is producing this season, and some reports indicate any move would likely require Champions League football at his next club.
