The transfer market could be on the verge of a major earthquake. According to a report by Diario SPORT, Real Madrid is preparing for a potential exit of Brazilian winger VinĂcius JĂşnior — and Florentino PĂ©rez has already set a non-negotiable asking price.
Here’s everything Diario SPORT is reporting regarding the situation:
💶 The €160 Million Ultimatum
Per Diario SPORT, Real Madrid will not entertain any offer below €160 million (including fixed fees and variables) for the 26-year-old superstar.
President Florentino PĂ©rez has reportedly set this high valuation to protect the club from opportunistic offers and ensure that, if the winger leaves, the club receives massive financial compensation.
đź”´ Arsenal Monitoring the Situation
Why is this happening now? Diario SPORT highlights that contract renewal negotiations between VinĂcius and Real Madrid have reached a complete standstill. With his current deal expiring on June 30, 2027, speculation is growing.
According to SPORT (citing The Athletic), Premier League side Arsenal are closely monitoring the Brazilian as a potential priority target to strengthen their attack under Mikel Arteta. However, the London club will only make an official move if VinĂcius definitively decides not to renew his contract.
🗓️ D-Day at the Bernabéu Next Week
The relationship between the player and the board has reached a critical point. Diario SPORT confirms that following the 2026 World Cup, both parties agreed to hold a decisive meeting in late July — scheduled for next week.
If these negotiations fail to produce a contract extension, Real Madrid will officially open the door to offers that match their €160M valuation.
