Real to restart deal discussions with Vinicius Jr after Xabi’s exit

Real Madrid are very close to restarting deal talks with Vini Jr after the exit of Xabi Alonso. The Royal Club has mutually agreed to let Xabi Alonso go, and that’s great news for Vinicius, who didn’t like the Spaniard. With him gone, now talk discussions can be restarted between Los Blancos and Vini.

The current deal of the Brazilian superstar is until 2027, and the Royal club doesn’t want to see his superstar enter the final year of his deal. To leave Vini Jr as a free agent is unthinkable for Real Madrid and that’s why they want to renew his deal now or sell him for a lot of money after the end of the season. Saudi Arabian clubs have a huge interest in bringing the Brazilian to the Middle East and are ready to pay a huge transfer sum for him.

🚨 With Xabi Alonso now gone from his role as Head Coach, Real Madrid believe they can reactivate the negotiations for Vinícius Júnior's contract renewal this month.
