A new controversy caused by Peres
Despite a fluctuating season and a performance far from expected, it seems that Real Madrid still have faith in their Brazilian star Vinicius Junior, who took over the captaincy against Barcelona in the last El Clasico.
According to the findings of the “Radiostadio” program of the radio station.“Onda Tero”The president of the Spanish club, Florentino Perez, asked the player to take a step forward and take responsibility for leading the dressing room in the next phase.
The move comes in light of a growing internal debate over the lack of leaders within the squad following the departures of big names such as Karim Benzema, Casemiro and Toni Kroos.
Perez believes that Vinicius, who wears the number 7 shirt, has enough personality and talent to become one of the leading figures in Real Madrid’s new draft, a role that actually starts from the start of next season.
In the corridors of the club, particularly at Valdebebas, the player is highly regarded by the management and technical staff, despite the criticism that has affected his form this season.
Sources say the club are planning to extend his contract, which runs until 2027, while giving him a bigger role in the team at a time when his future is not yet fully decided.
Vinicius is seen as a key element in Real Madrid’s return to the title after he played a decisive role in the Champions League trophy in 2022 and 2024.
However, the lack of veteran managers to accompany him during that period led club officials to demand that he develop his leadership personality to become a role model in the dressing room.
While those close to him admit that his performance this season has not been the best, they confirm that the player is aware of the amount of responsibility placed on his shoulders and that he is ready to make amends.
Spanish reports suggest that one of the aims of the new project, which is likely to be led by Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, is to create a strong harmony between Vinicius and Kylian Mbappe, the pair expected to lead Real Madrid’s attacking lines next season.
Perez hopes the duo will form the core of a new generation capable of returning Real to the top of Europe after a title-less season.
