Not $200M or $500M, Vinícius Júnior already has a price: Florentino Pérez is responsible

The last few months of Vinícius Júnior at Real Madrid have been marked by a clear loss of prominence and footballing spark. His performance on the field has plummeted, and off the field, he remains a topic of debate among fans. Although his attitude seems calmer during matches, that serenity has reduced the electricity that used to make him an unpredictable and decisive player.

At Real Madrid, some internal analysts acknowledge that the Brazilian has lost that ability to break through and unbalance in every play. He no longer bursts in with the same power or generates the panic he once caused in opposing defenses. The general feeling is that Vinícius Júnior is going through a period of maturity that, paradoxically, has made him lose part of his essence.

The relationship with Florentino Pérez cools down

Off the field, the relationship between Vinícius Júnior and Florentino Pérez has clearly cooled since last summer. During the talks to renew his contract, the Brazilian asked to match his salary with Kylian Mbappé's, something the club president flatly rejected. From that moment on, rumors about a possible departure of the player have only multiplied.

Several intermediaries have contacted Real Madrid to inquire about the Brazilian winger's situation, especially during the recent international break. Even from Saudi Arabia, offers have arrived that, according to some sources, could exceed €200 million. However, Florentino Pérez's response was firm and surprising: "In January we won't sell Vinícius for anything; we want him to renew."

Vinícius's price and Real Madrid's position

With this statement, the club's top executive drew a definitive red line. Vinícius Júnior will not leave Real Madrid unless a club is willing to pay his release clause. That figure amounts to €1 billion (1.000 millones de euros), a symbolic number that reflects both his sporting value and his institutional importance.

Florentino Pérez wants to send a clear message: the Brazilian remains a strategic piece of the project and will not be sold off under any circumstances. In the player's circle, this stance was interpreted as a gesture of trust that strengthens his position within the team. Despite the rumors, Vinícius feels supported by the club and keeps his desire to continue at Bernabéu intact.
