Predrag Mijatovic, former sporting director of Real Madrid, has proposed the idea of selling Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr this summer, suggesting it wouldn't be an extraordinary decision. Despite contributing 21 goals and 11 assists in 51 matches, Vinicius's form has declined following the announcement of the 2024 Ballon d'Or results. Mijatovic noted the impact of new signing Kylian Mbappe on Vinicius's role within the team. Even though a contract renewal may be imminent, concerns about Vinicius's attitude and the potential for a sale linger, reflecting the club's performance-oriented mentality.
Maybe it's time to consider what to do with Vinicius. If he leaves this summer, it's not a big deal. I don't know Vinicius personally, but I'm told he's an excellent guy and a great person. But you know how it is at Real Madrid. If you perform and do everything right, you stay, and if not, they sell you or let you go, or whatever... Many players who have made a difference at this club have left.
Proposing a renewal to a player can also be interpreted as a 'I renew you, but I would have nothing against selling you'... I think a player like Vinicius should consider that the club is giving him a chance to prove his worth, but also has the option to let him go if he doesn't meet expectations.
