Vinicius Junior's future at Real Madrid is uncertain, with reports suggesting club president Florentino Perez's son is advocating for the Brazilian's sale.

However, Kylian Mbappé’s dissatisfaction with being deployed as a central striker rather than in his preferred left-wing position has created a potential conflict. With Vinicius occupying that role, his place at the Bernabeu could be in jeopardy.
According to Sport, Carlo Ancelotti warned Real Madrid's hierarchy in the summer about having an overcrowded attack.
Two reasons Florentino Perez's son wants Vinicius sold
In response, Florentino Perez's son, Chivo, has reportedly been pushing for Vinicius Junior to be sold.
Selling Vinicius would free up the left-wing position for Kylian Mbappé, potentially addressing squad balance concerns. This is one key reason Perez's advisors are advocating for his departure.
Per Mirror Football, The second reason stems from Real Madrid’s financial struggles. The Bernabeu’s costly redevelopment and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic have strained the club's finances.
A high-value transfer of Vinicius, who has reportedly received a lucrative offer from a Saudi club, could provide much-needed relief. Those close to Perez are urging him to consider a sale to stabilize the club's accounts.
A potential transfer of Vinicius Junior could ease Madrid's financial strain caused by the Bernabeu rebuild. However, any move is unlikely before next summer, as Florentino Perez remains intent on keeping the Brazilian.
Vinicius is reportedly aware of the ongoing discussions about his future and is actively opposing the idea of a sale. While he showed some openness to the Saudi offer, his priority is to remain at Madrid beyond his current contract.
The decision now lies with Perez, who faces mounting pressure from his advisors to approve a surprising transfer.
