At the center of a heated debate regarding his future at Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior must make a choice by the end of the season. With a monstrous offer from Saudi Arabia on the table, Jesé Rodriguez, a former player of the White House, has given some blunt advice to the 24-year-old Brazilian winger.
Between Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior, it’s a love story. Over the past few years, the young Brazilian forward has reached a level of excellence with the biggest club in the Spanish capital. Having become the playmaker since Karim Benzema’s departure, the winger, who narrowly missed out on the Ballon d’Or in 2024, has seen his influence wane since Kylian Mbappé’s arrival at Real. Consequently, speculations about a gigantic offer from Saudi Arabia to attract the 24-year-old player are everywhere. In the meantime, Vini has rejected a contract extension proposal from Florentino Pérez, adding a spicy twist to the situation.
Jesé’s blunt advice
Determined to keep the player highly sought after by all major clubs, Real Madrid does not intend to yield to the subtle pressure from the Saudis, who are offering a large sum. While waiting for a final decision from Vinicius Junior on a possible contract extension or otherwise, Jesé Rodriguez spoke out on the matter. Invited to the El Larguero program in Spain, the former Madrid player was clear about the choice the Brazilian international should make.
Not wanting Vinicius Junior to have any regrets at the end of his career, Jesé, currently lost in the Malaysian league at 31, urges him to extend his contract. “If I were Vinicius, I wouldn’t go to Saudi Arabia. He is in the best club in the world. I believe the club sent a message by giving him the captain’s armband. It’s different because you have more pressure. He can leave in 5 years. It’s not all about money,” analyzed the player trained in Madrid.
Asked to give his honest prediction on the situation, Jesé Rodriguez thinks Vinicius Junior won’t leave the White House. “I don’t think Vinicius will leave. Moreover, Florentino Perez is very smart. He will talk to him,” added the former Paris Saint-Germain player, who continues to show great solidarity with Real. It must be said, the current trend is towards a contract extension for the Brazilian star. Despite statistics suggesting an incompatibility between the Brazilian international and a certain Kylian Mbappé, who is starting to take his place in the attack, Vini does not intend to leave.
Yes! The trend is positive
After his brilliant performance against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg of the Champions League playoffs, he clearly indicated that he would soon reach an agreement with the management. Last Wednesday, when he captained the team for the first time, Vinicius Junior once again stated that he wants to stay at Real Madrid for several years. Against Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey semi-final last Wednesday, he played his 299th match. If he plays this Saturday against Real Betis in La Liga, the FIFA The Best 2024 player will reach the milestone of 300 matches with the White House.
Untouchable in the team currently, Vinicius has no reason not to extend his contract with Real Madrid. Let’s note that he is currently tied to the club until June 2027. In any case, Jesé Rodriguez, who was announced as CR7’s replacement before his serious knee injury that definitively hampered his career, was clear: Real Madrid is the ideal place for Vini.
