Real Madrid returned from their Christmas break to face Real Betis at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u in a tense atmosphere. All eyes were on Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior, who had not scored since October 4 and had been subjected to repeated boos from the Bernab\u00e9u crowd, raising concern within the club\u2019s management and particularly from Florentino P\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n
The situation was not limited to his on-field performance; it also extended to Vin\u00edcius\u2019s behavior off the pitch. He changed his Instagram profile picture from a Real Madrid jersey to a Brazilian one, which angered fans. Even posting a photo of himself wearing a Real Madrid shirt at the beginning of the year failed to calm the criticism, prompting P\u00e9rez to consider all options regarding his future at the club.<\/p>\n
Florentino P\u00e9rez is considering selling Vin\u00edcius if the situation persists, in order to protect the club from potential losses. The plan includes finding a world-class replacement for the number 7, with the ideal option possibly being the signing of Erling Haaland. This would involve restructuring the attack so that Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 moves to the left wing if the team plays with three forwards, or shares attacking responsibilities with Mbapp\u00e9 if they play with two.<\/p>\n
If Vin\u00edcius is sold, the expected transfer fee would be reinvested in strengthening the squad and ensuring continued strong performances and competition for major titles next season. The moment of truth is approaching, and Florentino P\u00e9rez is proceeding cautiously to determine the fate of Real Madrid\u2019s number 7, amid close scrutiny from fans and the media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
