Real Madrid eyes Vinícius Júnior exit amid criticism and leadership change

Real Madrid has begun planning its next season, identifying Arsenal defender William Saliba as a key transfer target while preparing to make Kylian Mbappé the team leader. Meanwhile, Vinícius Júnior’s future remains uncertain.

According to Radio Monte Carlo, club president Florentino Pérez is focusing on rebuilding the squad after an injury-plagued season.

Despite scoring 100 goals in 293 matches, Vinícius’ role has diminished, with attention shifting to Mbappé, who has been leading the team in recent games.

The Brazilian has also faced criticism, including a recent verbal clash with Luka Modrić during Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey match against Leganés, with coach Carlo Ancelotti defending Modrić, stating that “he is always right” and that players should listen to him.

Real Madrid is reportedly considering selling Vinícius for what could become the most expensive transfer in football history, surpassing Neymar’s €220 million move to PSG.
