According to TBR Football, Real Madrid has decided to sell Vinicius Junior in the coming summer if he does not extend his contract. The player wants to reach the salary level of Kylian Mbappé, which is unacceptable for Real Madrid. Vinicius Junior is also dissatisfied with his role under new coach Xabi Alonso, and while Real Madrid wants to extend his contract, it is only under their own salary conditions.

According to TBR, Chelsea and Manchester City have been told that Vinicius could be open to a move to the Premier League if such an opportunity arose, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich also informed about the ongoing situation.

Real Madrid is reportedly monitoring Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, a move said to be at the request of Kylian Mbappé. However, any potential deal for Olise is believed to be conditional on the sale of Vinícius Júnior. According to E-Notícies, Madrid might consider a swap involving the two players, a move that would unite Mbappé with his French international teammate. Vinícius Júnior, the 25-year-old Brazilian, holds a contract until June 2027 and has a Transfermarkt valuation of €170.00m. The winger has also recently been the subject of interest from several Premier League clubs, such as Manchester United, Manchester City, and Newcastle United.
