In the sights of Unai Emery, coach of Aston Villa, but also of Manchester United and Roma, who guaranteed the Brazilian a much more starting place, he should take up the challenge launched by Mourinho at Real Madrid.

Having been moved to the right by Fonseca with Lyon - who failed to convince the player to stay next year - Endrick could continue to play on the right flank in Madrid... Or fight for his place up front alongside Kylian Mbappé.

Eager to secure his place at Real Madrid, the player does not rule out agreeing to a loan during the next winter transfer window if he lacks playing time.

The talks had a clear starting point: Vinicius felt he deserved a larger signing bonus (what's called a signing bonus in Brazil) for the new contract, given the approaching end of his current contract (in June 2027) and his importance to the squad. And the negotiation progressed precisely because Real Madrid finally signaled figures that went beyond the usual amounts in this type of deal.

The equation wasn't simple: the bonuses include a significant signing fee—which is spread over the five years of the contract—, awards for individual goals, and even loyalty incentives. What is known is that Vini will reach the annual salary cap of €20 million (R$118.7 million), established by president Florentino Pérez for the entire Real Madrid squad, and the final amount received by the number 7 will be considerably higher because of the aforementioned clauses.

Real Madrid understood that seeking a replacement in the market would cost much more than giving in and getting closer to the Brazilian's demands. Coach José Mourinho was part of the strategy to convince him to renew his contract. Since the holidays, the Portuguese coach had been in direct contact with the Brazilian, emphasizing his importance to the project.

The message he has conveyed to the Brazilian is how much he could contribute and how important he would be to a team like the London club, which, as demonstrated in the last two seasons, aspires to win everything and seeks, with the presence of one of Real Madrid 's captains , to take the next step and become the leading team in Europe.

The idea behind Arteta's plan and what his presence would mean has reached Vinicius , who already knows that Arsenal's 2026-27 project would largely revolve around him , something that doesn't seem so clear at Real Madrid . Now it remains to be seen what the player will convey to the Real Madrid management upon his arrival in the Spanish capital, expected in the coming hours.

Now that Vinicius knows what Arsenal wants , it's time for Andrea Berta and the rest of the English club's management to consider, or not, depending on Vinicius 's final decision after his meeting with Real Madrid's directors , a deal that could be worth around €150 million . It's worth remembering that the Brazilian only has one year left on his contract, a circumstance that always lowers the value of any transfer. However, recent transfer windows have shown that this doesn't mean giving the player away for next to nothing. In fact, Real Madrid signed Hazard under those conditions for €100 million , and in this transfer window, they are considering signing Rodri, who also has one year left on his contract, for a significant fee.

Some reports from England are already mentioning initial contact between the two clubs, though neither side has confirmed it. The next chapter in this latest summer saga will unfold in just a few hours with Vinicius's arrival in Madrid. The forward has always made it clear he wants to stay at Real Madrid. We'll see what happens from now on.

Real Madrid will not only retain this half of his rights but will also have the option to buy him back in future transfer windows for a slightly higher fee than they received. This will give them complete control over Fran for several seasons.

José Mourinho trusted the goalkeeper to complement Courtois and Lunin , but he has finally understood his desire to seek a starting position at another La Liga club . Sevilla's move will be very similar to the one they made for another player from the capital, former Atlético Madrid full-back Julio Díaz, whom they signed just a few days ago.

After months of stalled negotiations and a standoff in which neither side has budged, Real Madrid has decided to make a move. At Valdebebas, they believe the time has come to end the uncertainty surrounding Vinicius's future. 

According to MARCA, the club has already informed the player's representatives that the latest offer is final. There will be no further increases or another round of negotiations. The position is clear: if Vinicius accepts, he will renew his contract. If he doesn't, Real Madrid will open the door to a sale this summer to prevent the Brazilian from entering the final year of his contract and potentially leaving for free later on.

And, if the winger ultimately refuses to leave, the sporting landscape has also changed. The imminent arrival of Diomandé, a player capable of operating on both flanks, would offer Mourinho a top-level alternative and reduce his reliance on the Brazilian . In that context, Vinicius being relegated to the bench would cease to be a distant possibility and become a real one if the contract dispute remains unresolved.

The new agreements signed with both Adidas and Emirates demonstrate the sponsors' confidence in the management of Real Madrid, making the Real Madrid jersey the most expensive in the world . Currently, the aforementioned jersey, featuring the logos of the two companies mentioned above plus HP, represents an annual income of 300 million euros for the club.

This financial capacity is allowing Real Madrid to be active in the transfer market, as they have demonstrated since the start of the transfer window, something that will be confirmed in the coming hours with the official announcement of Diomande as the club's newest player . The agreement with the Ivory Coast international is complete and final, and the initial understanding with RB Leipzig was reached last week and will be officially signed today.

This will be Mourinho's fifth signing , but not the last, pending the departures of some first-team players. It's worth remembering that Real Madrid's youth academy has already generated over €100 million in revenue for the club this summer, a figure that will increase significantly before the transfer window closes. Transfers of players currently training or soon to begin training under Mourinho at Valdebebas are also a possibility .

Enzo Maresca confirmed in a press conference that his player will rejoin the team after the operation . "The surgery is on Monday, and he needs a vacation; he needs to rest and recover. He'll be back with us afterward ," the manager stated.

The midfielder's name is on Real Madrid's shortlist , but City want to extend his contract, which expires next season, and their manager also counts on him. " Any manager would want Rodri because he's a top-level player ," Maresca emphasized.

The player's performance at the World Cup has sparked numerous rumors linking him to some of the world's top clubs. His stay in Madrid is due to surgery, at least for the time being.

With Real being arguably the biggest club on the planet, there is a sense that leaving the Bernabeu would also impact the player's commercial brand.

Talks over a new Real deal for Vinicius are expected to ramp up in the coming days.

It is claimed the forward is still very receptive to renewing at the Bernabeu but "wants to feel loved". Recent reports have stated that new manager Jose Mourinho wants to keep all his big names at the club.

But there is serious jeopardy for Real if they keep Vinicius without renegotiating his contract. The scenario of the Brazilian leaving for nothing in 2027 would represent a financial catastrophe, even for a club as cash rich as them.

With that in mind, resolving the situation one way or another is understandably viewed as a priority for Real before the transfer deadline.

As it stands Vinicius can start speaking to rival clubs about a free transfer move away from Real at the turn of the year. Leaving on a free will be far more lucrative in terms of wages to the attacker than leaving this summer, when the buying club has to find a transfer fee.

Real Madrid gave United target Aurelien Tchouameni, 26, a three-year contract extension and improved wages in part because they didn’t think Manchester City’s Rodri was available to them. Then Madrid understood that Spain’s World Cup winning captain could be. If Madrid are to buy big then they need to sell big. The Spanish club are looking at multiple transfer operations right now and, should they choose to try to sell him, Tchouameni’s contract extension could help them ask for a higher fee since he previously only had two years left and they did not want him to leave for free.

United have long admired Tchouameni and understand that the midfielder is very happy at Madrid, but would leave if they didn’t want him and, if that was the case, be open to the idea of playing for United. Tchouameni’s higher wages and transfer fee would be the significant issues which would need to be resolved. United have been offered other lower profile midfielders who’ve only played in Spain but were aware of the transition time of leaving one league and playing in the Premier League.
