Overview
- The Brazil forward is in very advanced negotiations with two high-profile agents and aims to select new representation in the coming weeks.
- Reports say he decided months ago to leave Real Madrid and is speeding up the process to manage the move on his terms.
- A January transfer is considered unrealistic, and current planning points to the summer 2026 window for any departure.
- Manchester City and Arsenal are described as the strongest candidates for his next club, with Liverpool also reported as a possibility.
- His push to leave follows a sustained drop in minutes and output this season, with seven starts and two goals reported, and Vinicius Junior’s role cited as limiting his preferred position.
