Florentino Perez throws full support behind Real Madrid megastar amid growing criticism: ‘Leave it to me’
Vinicius Jr. remains central to Real Madrid’s long-term plans despite growing criticism from the Santiago Bernabeu crowd this season.
The Brazilian forward has faced increased scrutiny in recent weeks, particularly after the reaction from fans during the clash against Deportivo Alaves.
The tension around his performances has naturally brought his contract situation into sharper focus, turning his renewal into one of the key talking points around the club.
Internally, however, the position is very different from what is being heard in the stands.
Perez to handle the matter personally
According to MARCA, club president Florentino Perez has taken a strong position on the matter.
He has made it clear that Vinicius is not just another player in the squad, but a key asset for both the present and the future.
More importantly, the president intends to personally oversee the renewal process, showing how important the player is within the club’s structure.
Despite the inconsistency shown this season, there is no doubt at the board level about Vinicius’ ability or importance to the project.
The president’s message has been direct and decisive when concerns about the player have been raised – “That’s my business; leave it to me.”
A lot depends on a new manager
Beyond the contract situation, Real Madrid are already looking ahead to next season with the understanding that changes are needed.
After falling short in major competitions, there is a growing acceptance that the squad requires better direction and management.
As part of that reset, the club is expected to bring in a manager capable of maximising the potential of a squad filled with elite talent, and Vinicius remains central to that vision.
His relationship with Perez has been strong since his arrival, built not just on football but also on the president’s public support during difficult moments.
Now, Perez remains convinced that Vinicius can return to the level that made him decisive and with that, a renewal can be achieved.

Manchester United launch final push to sign Real Madrid outcast; club resists permanent exit
Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Endrick as the Brazilian forward’s future at Real Madrid becomes increasingly uncertain, with a potential January loan move emerging as a solution to his lack of regular playing time.
According to Bernabeu Digital, Manchester United are making a final push to convince the 19-year-old to join them.
However, negotiations could prove complicated because the Premier League club is interested in including a purchase option in the deal, while Real Madrid are not currently planning to give up permanent control of the striker.
Endrick’s limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season have opened the door to a temporary departure, with AC Milan and Tottenham also emerging as potential destinations.
Why Manchester United want Endrick?
Manchester United are looking for greater attacking productivity and believe Endrick could provide a different dimension to their forward line.
The Premier League club has also been linked with the Brazilian in the past, as they assess options to improve their goalscoring output after a poor start to the season.
Notably, his situation at Real Madrid makes a move more plausible, as Endrick has struggled to secure consistent minutes, and the club is considering a loan that would give him the chance to play regularly.
However, United’s preferred terms could become the biggest obstacle.
The English side reportedly wants the option to buy Endrick at the end of the loan, potentially giving them a route to a permanent transfer if he impresses.
Real Madrid reject permanent Endrick exit
Real Madrid’s preference is understood to be a straightforward loan without a purchase option.
The club want Endrick to gain experience elsewhere before returning to compete for a place in the squad, rather than risk losing a young forward they have invested in for the future.
His previous loan spell at Lyon provides a possible model for another temporary move, although any agreement would depend on the terms offered and the player’s own preferences.
Manchester United are prepared to make an attractive financial proposal in an effort to secure his arrival, but money alone may not resolve the disagreement if Real Madrid remain unwilling to include a purchase clause.

This is why Madrid is underperforming. Let the new coach decide if he fits the system. Also, Vinicius seems to have reached his plateau of potential, he doesn’t show any signs of improvement from consistent mistakes and seems to be uncoachable. There are better players and Madrid would be better off selling him. All this is because Madrid missed out on Neymar. Move on already, there won’t be another Neymar and Vinicius is very far to be compared to Neymar. Look at how good Estevao is, look for players with similar qualities.
