At Real Madrid there is no room for doubt. In all senses, but especially when it comes to a player’s future.
“The ones that want to be here are here, the one who puts the good of Real Madrid before everything else”, one hears over and over again in Valdebebas. It applies to the first team and the latest youngster to join the ranks.
This summer it has been seen with the youth Paulo Iago and his desire to fly away from Real Madrid in the face of what he considered little confidence in his abilities, with the opposite happening in the first team with Dani Ceballos, Rodrygo and Vinicius, each in their own dimension.
For the last decade every player has his price, with the starting point being Cristiano Ronaldo. No particular overhauls that jeopardize the stability of the group. Summer after summer, situations arise that can lead to disagreements, and the club’s leaders are there to put everything back on track.
Billion-dollar armor
The last special situation has come with Vinicius Junior and the proposal that could break the bank in every way.
The Saudi Pro League closed the tap of the fund that distributes the money days ago and only contributions from the so-called sheikhs continue to allow off-market transfers. And the impossible dream of seeing the striker in the Saudi League has been just that, a dream. At least for the moment. His price is one billion euros, while the will of the player is something that seems to be priceless.
Gold, shiny and dressed in white
Vincius is where he wants to be, which is Real Madrid. He knows that this is his place, just as the leaders of the Los Blancos are also aware that the striker is part of Madrid’s heritage. Everyone agrees.
There are exciting months ahead for Vini, starting with what will happen in Monaco in less than two weeks, when he will be proclaimed the best player of the last edition of the Champions League. Later, the Ballon d’Or or FIFA’s The Best will appear on the horizon. Doors that Real Madrid opens more easily than others because of the routine conquests of titles.
These awards will come hand in hand with greater popular and economic recognition. Contracts are there to be fulfilled and they contain clauses that will improve the Brazilian’s situation. His sporting contribution is beyond doubt, he is always there when he is most needed, something he demonstrated last Wednesday in Warsaw.
Brazilian’s social work
The striker has put up 3.3 million euros to build a large headquarters for his social project, the Vini Jr. Institute, near the space occupied by the Ciep Porto do Rosa Intercultural Brazil-Russia, a closed public school, gestures that he carries out through his foundation, which is devoted to the most needy in the area where he was born.
Real Madrid’s total respect for contracts
Real Madrid respects contracts. Ceballos wanted to stay and will be able to enjoy a new opportunity. Rodrygo got confused and the club was the one who reached out to him after a slap on the wrist.
Unlike others, Real Madrid does not remove or leave players without a contract when they do not count on them. This has been demonstrated with players like Bale, Isco, Vallejo and Hazard, whom the club and Ancelotti respected at all times.
