PSG offered Brazilian forward a €40 million salary package to not renew Real Madrid
To say that Vinicius Jr has grown leaps and bounds since his arrival would be an understatement. The Brazilian protege always had an X-factor in his performances, but lacked an end product, which he has discovered under Carlo Ancelotti this season.
In 30 league starts last season, the former Flamengo player scored 17 goals and provided ten assists. Moreover, his goal sealed the team’s 1-0 win over Liverpool in the final of the UEFA Champions League last month.
Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid are desperate to renew the 21-year-old’s contract. Though several clubs were interested in signing Vinicius, the youngster only wanted to stay in Madrid and is said to have reached an agreement in principle to pen an extension.
According to reports from Mario Cortegana, the Brazilian feels valued at the club and is willing to commit his future until 2026 or 2027 with Los Blancos.
Paris Saint-Germain were interested in signing him and offered the winger an offer worth €40 million per season. Further, they even promised a huge signing bonus and business opportunities in Qatar as part of their proposal.
Despite the Parisiens’ continuous efforts from November to March, Vinicius turned it down to extend at Real Madrid. Undoubtedly, the 21-year-old is committed and loyal to the club’s project.
The player is expected to sign his contract with the club early next month, after which an official announcement will be made. Heading into next season, Vinicius will look to further his impact on the team.
Arda Guler’s Real Madrid stint has not gotten off to the start he would have hoped to have given the expectation that preceded the transfer.
Having joined in the summer after Real Madrid outbid their competition to win him over from Fenerbahce for a 20-million-euro fee, buzz was high as the winger was expected to slot into the team quite seamlessly, albeit on a rotational basis.
Unfortunately for the 18-year-old, he has been constantly marred by injuries since completing the move.
Reports have stated that after Guler picked up his third injury since his move, Real Madrid have been concerned and want to take things slow with the player to ensure he is fit as soon as possible after an injury to his quadriceps this time.
The Turk is yet to make his competitive debut for the club, and Real Madrid even sacked their medical chief in November, in light of their injury crises since the beginning of the season.
No loan deal for Guler
However, according to Fabrizio Romano in a recent YouTube video, he states that Madrid maintain full trust and patience in the youngster.
Despite his bad luck with injuries, the latest of which he is scheduled to return from after Christmas, the Galacticos have no intention of loaning out Guler to Turkish clubs despite lots of speculation of them doing so of late.
Romano states that Madrid remain firm on not shaking things up too much with the squad, and they want to keep their roster stable, including Arda Guler.
They want to extend their full support and protection to the player as he aims to return to full fitness and finally make his bow for Madrid either by the end of this month or in 2024.
