It's over! Vinícius Júnior and Manchester United's situation is final.

Vini's soap opera with the English club comes to an end with a surprising resolution

After progressively losing prominence, Vinícius Júnior's situation has caused all kinds of opinions among Madridists. Xabi Alonso arrived at Real Madrid this summer intending to reshape the club and return it to the top. However, despite having a locker room full of stars, managing egos is proving more difficult than desired, and Vini is clear proof of that.

Although a little over a year ago he finished second in the Ballon d'Or, right now Vinícius Júnior is a shadow of what he once was. He no longer dribbles or gets past defenders as easily, and, in addition, his attitude is causing many internal problems for Real Madrid. Because of this, the possibility of him leaving is hanging in the air, especially after learning of Manchester United's interest.

Vinícius Júnior's situation and Manchester United's interest

Vinícius Júnior is one of the footballers with the highest market value in the world and has been decisive for Real Madrid for several seasons. The white team received very large offers, but Florentino was clear that he wanted the Brazilian on his team. Now, after the latest controversies, everything has changed: he could leave Bernabéu and Manchester United want to secure his services.

Beyond the issue of his attitude, which is a serious problem for Real Madrid, Vinícius Júnior also raises doubts among Bernabéu's top brass because of his contract. Vini is tied to the white club until 2027, but despite the proposals presented by Florentino last summer, he refuses to renew. This situation is causing a lot of nervousness, since he could leave completely free if he keeps up the standoff a little longer.

In this scenario, Manchester United has come on strong in the race for Vinícius Júnior. The English know this is the ideal time to try to close his signing and have already sent an offer of €200 million to Real Madrid. The response was not long in coming.

Vinícius Júnior demands too much from Manchester United

After learning of Manchester United's interest, Vinícius Júnior has not stood idly by. Thus, as El Nacional reports, the Brazilian star "has demanded conditions considered out of the market for United. The package included a salary that would place him among the highest-paid players on the planet, high performance bonuses, and additional demands for his entourage".

Therefore, despite Manchester United's desire, Vinícius Júnior's demands are so high that his signing has been canceled. Now it only remains to be seen whether his situation improves at Real Madrid or, on the contrary, he must start looking for a new destination. If he doesn't renew, Florentino will be forced to sell him next summer to prevent him from leaving for free.
