Vinicius threatens Real Madrid: renewal or leave for free in 2027!

Real Madrid is experiencing a tense situation regarding the future of its Brazilian star Vinicius Junior, who is strongly pressuring the club's management to renew his contract under the same terms as his French teammate Kylian Mbappe, otherwise he prefers to leave for free when his contract ends in the summer of 2027.

The Spanish newspaper "AS" reported today, Saturday September 20, 2025, that Vinicius wants to stay with the royal club and compete for titles, which puts him in a strong negotiating position.

However, Real Madrid is concerned about the possibility of losing him for free if a suitable agreement is not reached before the end of his contract.

Vinicius, who is 25 years old, is suffering from a decline in his level this season under the new coach Xabi Alonso, as he sat on the bench for the second time this season during Real Madrid's victory over Olympique Marseille with a clean goal in the Champions League.

Reports indicate that the increasing reliance of the club on a rotation policy between Vinicius and Rodrigo may reduce the player's chances of participating regularly, which could lower his market value if Real Madrid wishes to sell him next summer.

In the event that no agreement is reached for a new contract extending for five years with a high salary, the club may be forced to lose him for free in 2027.

Vinicius scored 22 goals last season and ranked second in the Ballon d'Or award for 2024, but frustration has recently been evident on him, adding more complexity to the player's future with Real Madrid.

Xabi Alonso commented on the crisis, saying that they are facing a "long marathon" to resolve matters with the Brazilian star, amid everyone's desire to reach a solution that preserves the interests of both parties.

Given these circumstances, Vinicius' future with Real Madrid remains one of the most prominent thorny issues in Spanish football this season, with expectations that the coming months will be decisive in determining the player's fate with the royal club.

Do you think that Real Madrid will respond to Vinicius' demands to keep him, or will the player leave for free in 2027?
