Vinicius Junior surprises Real Madrid fans and sho.cks Perez and Ancelotti with this unexpected decision

Real Madrid’s Brazilian winger, Vinicius Junior, is facing a challenging period following his Ballon d’Or loss, an award that seemed within his reach. Instead, Manchester City’s Spanish midfielder Rodri won it last Monday in one of the most controversial ceremonies in its history.

According to the Spanish outlet Relevo, Vinicius has decided against renewing his contract with Real Madrid for now, opting to wait for a more favorable opportunity. The report highlights that he missed the chance to extend his deal, which is currently set to run until June 2027.

Real Madrid reached out to Vinicius’ agents to discuss a contract renewal, particularly after he received a lucrative one-billion-euro offer from the Saudi League last summer. Although Vinicius appreciated Real Madrid’s interest and considered the offer, he has not committed to anything yet. He intends to find the right moment to reopen negotiations with president Florentino Perez and his team.

Despite the arrival of Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid aimed to treat Vinicius as a key player. However, the disappointment of missing out on the Ballon d’Or has left him reeling.
