Mourinho in pictures… behind the scenes of frozen negotiations between Real Madrid and Vinicius

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has confirmed that a contract extension with Brazilian star Vinicius Junior is still pending and has not yet been decided due to the ongoing election campaign.

Perez has indicated his desire to continue with the player, whose contract expires in June 2027, noting that talks were completely halted ten months ago following the Club World Cup and the appointment of coach Xabi Alonso, forcing things into a long period of stagnation until now, just seven months before the player was able to negotiate with another club.
