RIGHT AFTER YESTERDAY’S CLÁSICO! Real Madrid are preparing to announce the bomb of a departure of Vinícius with a release clause of 200 M€, tearful fans murmur: “he destroyed the last beautiful feelings that remained…”

The Clasico against Atlético left deeper traces than expected in the White House. While many thought defeat would simply fuel a new page of rivalry, one internal bomb broke out at Real Madrid: according to several sources close to the locker room, management is already preparing the announcement of a separation from Vinícius Junior, and this despite an astronomical release clause of 200 million euros.

A decision which freezes supporters and divides public opinion, as the Brazilian striker has embodied the club’s offensive future in recent years. But behind the applause and the headlines, the divide now seems irreversible.

A broken relationship after the Clasico

For several months, the warning signals had been piling up. Vinícius’ repeated anger when he found himself on the bench, his reactions deemed “immature” to criticism, and his inability to channel his emotions on the pitch gradually tired the leaders.

The Clasico against Atlético did nothing but trigger the explosion. His performance deemed insufficient, punctuated by gestures of humor, would have convinced Florentino Pérez and his entourage that the cycle of number 7 was over. The Madrid president, until now protector of the Brazilian jewel, would have this time validated the idea of leaving next summer.

Tears in the stands, anger on the networks

As soon as the rumor spread, the Bernabéu burst into flames. Some shocked supporters did not hesitate to shed tears in the stands, shouting their attachment to the man of the magical Champions League evenings. On social networks, reactions have multiplied: between those who denounce “a betrayal of management” and those who affirm that “the club comes first”, the gap is growing.

A former Brazilian Madrilenian, who remained anonymous, reacted in a surprisingly calm manner:

Vinícius gave a lot, but Madrid is above individualities. Maybe it’s time for him to take on another challenge. ”

This coldness contrasts with the general emotion and further fuels the electrical climate around the file.

Ancelotti, the impassive mask

In the center of the storm, Carlo Ancelotti adopted an icy posture. Questioned after the meeting, the Italian coach carefully avoided any controversy, but his words, loaded with innuendo, froze the fans:

Vinícius is a Real Madrid player, for now. What happens next… I can’t say. ”

His apparent calm contrasts with the seriousness of the situation. Observers see it as one silent acceptance of a departure already recorded. For some, Ancelotti has even already started tactical thinking to prepare a team without Vinícius, by integrating Mbappé on the left and offering more responsibilities to Rodrygo.

Who to replace number 7?

The departure of Vinícius, if confirmed, would open a new era. Several names are already circulating: premier League stars, ready to take on the role of dynamiter on the left side, but also more unexpected leads from the Bundesliga.

The rumor of an explosive duo Mbappé – Rodrygo seduces some of the supporters, but many fear that the loss of Vinícius will take away from Madrid this touch of unpredictable madness which often rocked the great European evenings.

The Brazilian striker’s options

For his part, Vinícius finds himself faced with a dilemma. Agree to stay and try to regain the trust of a club that already seems to be turning its back on it? Or seize an XXL offer, perhaps in the Premier League, where several clubs say they are ready to put more than 150 million euros on the table?

Saudi Arabia, also on the lookout, would be ready to covering the Brazilian international with gold. But the idea of premature exile far from the European elite does not seem, for the moment, to appeal to the player.
