According to the Spanish media Diario Marca , Real Madrid would be close to making a final decision on the future of Vinicius Tobias, the Brazilian full-back loaned by Shakhtar to its subsidiary until the end of the season.
In principle, Real Madrid had seriously considered exercising their purchase option, but the low chances of seeing him involved with the first team would definitively distance him from the orbit of the merengue team.

Vinicius Tobias’ purchase option
Although the transfer agreement between Real Madrid and Shakhtar is not entirely clear, the Spanish press claims that the white team has a purchase option that would be around 10.00 million euros.
At the beginning of the season, when Vinicius Tobias debuted with the first team and aimed to be a permanent fixture with Raúl at Castilla, the white team considered paying that amount.

However, there would be certain doubts in the board about his level and the first team coaching staff, led by Carlo Ancelotti, would have no plans to have Vinicius Tobias in the future.
Therefore, everything seems to indicate that the 20-year-old Brazilian will return to Shakhtar, a club with which he has a current contract until 2026, once the current season ends.
Real Madrid bets on Spanish talent over Vinicius Tobias
One of the main reasons that would definitively distance this Brazilian pearl from Real Madrid would be Real Madrid’s decision to bet on the Spanish talent in its squad.
Looking at the first team, the white team would be willing to offer a new contract to Lucas Vázquez, Carvajal’s substitute at right back, so there would be no urgency to find a replacement.
For his part, in the Juvenil team directed by Álvaro Arbeloa and with a view to moving up to Raúl’s Castilla and eventually to the first team, a young talent named Jesús Fortea plays, a promising 17-year-old right back who aims to be the future of the house white.
Real Madrid has already renewed his contract and values him as a valuable asset for the future, so Vinicius Tobias would not aim to be missed in the merengue team’s grassroots football.
