Despite the inconsistency shown this season, there is no doubt at the board level about Vinicius’ ability or importance to the project.
The president’s message has been direct and decisive when concerns about the player have been raised – “That’s my business; leave it to me.”
Beyond the contract situation, Real Madrid are already looking ahead to next season with the understanding that changes are needed.
After falling short in major competitions, there is a growing acceptance that the squad requires better direction and management.
As part of that reset, the club is expected to bring in a manager capable of maximising the potential of a squad filled with elite talent, and Vinicius remains central to that vision.
His relationship with Perez has been strong since his arrival, built not just on football but also on the president’s public support during difficult moments.
Now, Perez remains convinced that Vinicius can return to the level that made him decisive and with that, a renewal can be achieved.
