Former sports director of Real Madrid, Predrag Mijatovic, launched the idea that the club Vende Vinicius Jr this summer, insisting that it would not be “a big problem”.
The Brazilian winger had a disappointing season, with his form which plunges after being announced that he had missed the Médée Manchester City midfielder Rodri, in the battle to win the Ballon d’Or 2024.
Vinicius Jr has always contributed 21 goals and 11 assists in 51 games, but his overall contribution is down last year when he played an important role in Madrid winning double the Liga and the Champions League.

It’s time to consider the future of Vini …
Mijatovic told El Larguero: “It may be time to think about what to do with Vinicius. If he leaves this summer, it’s not a big problem.
“I don’t know Vinicius personally, but I am told that he is an excellent guy and a great person. But you know how it is at Real Madrid. If you play and do everything correctly, you stay, and if not, they sell you, you let go, or anything …
“In the past 10 years in Real Madrid, during which they have been very successful, many players who have made a difference in this club have left.”
The winger seems likely to stay
The reports suggest that Vinicius JR will sign a new three -year agreement at the end of the season after having rejected the opportunity for a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia, but Mijatovic thinks that it should be a warning.
“Offering a renewal to a player can also be interpreted as a” I renew you, but I would have nothing against selling you “”, he added, before describing his discomfort with the attitude of the player.
Mijatovic, who marked the winner while Madrid beat Juventus in the 1998 Champions League final, said: “Did Vinicius have more enemies than a footballer deserves it, and not just outside Real Madrid?
“Yes. I understand that fans of the opposing teams see you as a player who makes a difference and hates you.
“But I also think that Vinicius provoked this opinion against him, and a little outside of football. And not only among opposing fans, there are a lot of Real Madrid fans who think” what’s wrong with this child? “And that must be said, it should not be hidden.
Alonso arrival can change things for Vinicius Jr
Even if Mijatovic would have no qualms about sale Vinicius Jr, it seems unthinkable, in particular with the new coach Xabi Alonso offering each player a clean slate when he succeeds Carlo Ancelotti.
There are also rumors of rumors, the Brazilian compatriot of Vinicius Jr, Roddrygo, wants to get out of Madrid, he became disillusioned at the Bernabeu.
