Vinicius Jr.'s Agent Signals Renewal Talks at Real Madrid
Xabi Alonso's departure has brought a return to calm at Real Madrid, shifting the spotlight back to Vinícius Júnior's future.
Federico Pena, Vinícius's agent, was seen at the Santiago Bernabéu amid ongoing renewal chatter.
Vinícius's contract runs through the summer of 2027, keeping renewal talks in the spotlight as Madrid weigh their options.
According to AS, Pena attended the Madrid-Monaco clash in the Champions League, a sign that talks could accelerate.
The newspaper stressed the visit should not be read as a coincidence; it could signal negotiations moving forward soon.
With Alonso's exit, sources say Vinícius is likely to stay at the club.
Madrid's camp continues to balance growth, wages, and a star who still drags defenders into his orbit.
Punchline 1: Madrid's negotiation room has a perfect aim—hit the deadline before the deadline arrives.
Punchline 2: If contracts grew on trees, Vinícius would own a forest; alas, Madrid still signs on the dotted line.
