Reports: Real Madrid Set €150 Million Price on Vinícius as Renewal Doubts Escalate
A narrowing window before his 2027 expiry, with tensions with Xabi Alonso, points to a likely 2026 crossroads.
Overview
- Sky Sports journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Real Madrid have fixed a €150 million valuation for Vinícius Júnior and are prepared to hear offers from summer 2026 after talks over a new deal reportedly collapsed.
- Multiple outlets describe rising friction between Vinícius and head coach Xabi Alonso, with the Brazilian’s role perceived as diminished this season.
- Saudi Pro League clubs are portrayed as the likeliest bidders, while Manchester City are said to be monitoring the situation from a distance; PSG and Chelsea are also linked in transfer reporting.
- Contrasting coverage from Cadena Ser says the Madrid hierarchy still prioritises a long-term renewal for Vinícius and considers him a key asset.
- With his contract running until June 2027, the timeline increases pressure on Madrid to either secure an extension or consider a sale next summer, as some English clubs hesitate at the price.
