The future of Vinícius Jr. at Real Madrid is once again under the spotlight. While renewal talks between the club and the Brazilian continue, reports from Spain suggest that the board has already established a potential transfer fee — one that could shatter every record in football history.

How Much Would Real Madrid Ask for Vinícius Jr.?

According to Cadena SER, Real Madrid would be willing to let Vinícius Jr. leave for €250 million, despite his release clause being set at €1 billion.

That figure alone would make Vinícius the most expensive player in football history, surpassing Neymar’s €222 million move from Barcelona to PSG in 2017.

Although no official offers have been made yet, the report indicates that several clubs — particularly from the Premier League and Saudi Arabia — have already shown interest and have the financial power to make such a move possible.

Florentino Pérez’s Master Plan

President Florentino Pérez reportedly has a clear vision behind this valuation. The potential sale could finance an audacious plan: bringing together Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The idea aligns with Real Madrid’s long-term sporting and commercial strategy — building a new generation of “Galácticos” capable of dominating both on the pitch and in global marketing appeal.

Vinícius Jr.’s Current Season

At 25 years old, Vinícius is experiencing a somewhat uneven season under Xabi Alonso. The Brazilian winger has made 10 appearances, totaling 689 minutes, with 5 goals and 4 assists so far.

While his talent and explosiveness remain undeniable, his influence has slightly declined compared to previous campaigns — sparking internal debate about whether he should remain central to Madrid’s future project.
