Vinicius Junior’s situation at Real Madrid could change radically in the coming months. Indeed, the Brazilian winger is no longer untouchable in the eyes of the Merengue management. His departure would even be considered in the event of the signing of Kylian Mbappé next summer.

However, Vinicius had just extended his contract until 2027. But the free arrival of the French world champion would upset Real’s plans. According to the show El Chiringuito, Mbappé would be extremely expensive in terms of salary and bonuses. It would therefore be necessary to sell a bankable item to compensate financially.

Vinicius Junior, ideal culprit to finance Mbappé

At just 23 years old, Vinicius is one of the club’s most important players in recent years. He scored the winning goal in the 2022 Champions League and won several trophies. But his status as indisputable holder would be called into question by the arrival of Mbappé. Because to attract the PSG star, Real will have to part ways with an executive including Vinicius.

The arrival of Mbappé would also require recruiting other talents for the future like Endrick, a young Brazilian gem. Vinicius could therefore pay the price for these new major arrivals and leave Casa Blanca next summer. An unexpected outcome for someone who seemed to have built his career on the sidelines. But with Mbappé in its ranks, Real will have to deal with tenfold competition for Vinicius. His Madrid adventure risks ending sooner than expected.
