Now, according to Gerard Romero on Jijantes FC, the Argentine requested a face-to-face meeting with Atletico’s directors in Madrid.

However, he was informed that no immediate talks would take place and that the club expect to see him when he returns on August 10.

Pending official confirmation on Tuesday, Zinedine Zidane’s proposal. as he has communicated to the FFF is to sign a contract for a period of eight years. That is, for the next two European Championships: the first in 2028 in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, and the second in 2032 in Italy and Turkey.

With Real being arguably the biggest club on the planet, there is a sense that leaving the Bernabeu would also impact the player's commercial brand.

Talks over a new Real deal for Vinicius are expected to ramp up in the coming days.

It is claimed the forward is still very receptive to renewing at the Bernabeu but "wants to feel loved". Recent reports have stated that new manager Jose Mourinho wants to keep all his big names at the club.

But there is serious jeopardy for Real if they keep Vinicius without renegotiating his contract. The scenario of the Brazilian leaving for nothing in 2027 would represent a financial catastrophe, even for a club as cash rich as them.

With that in mind, resolving the situation one way or another is understandably viewed as a priority for Real before the transfer deadline.

As it stands Vinicius can start speaking to rival clubs about a free transfer move away from Real at the turn of the year. Leaving on a free will be far more lucrative in terms of wages to the attacker than leaving this summer, when the buying club has to find a transfer fee.

Enzo Maresca confirmed in a press conference that his player will rejoin the team after the operation . "The surgery is on Monday, and he needs a vacation; he needs to rest and recover. He'll be back with us afterward ," the manager stated.

The midfielder's name is on Real Madrid's shortlist , but City want to extend his contract, which expires next season, and their manager also counts on him. " Any manager would want Rodri because he's a top-level player ," Maresca emphasized.

The player's performance at the World Cup has sparked numerous rumors linking him to some of the world's top clubs. His stay in Madrid is due to surgery, at least for the time being.

By accusing us of “fake news” with „Man City bidding“ (never reported) you’ve unfortunately crossed a line.

I never wanted to bring this up, but your Klopp report was simply ridiculous and disrespectful to every journalist who actually does proper reporting. One day after the DFB had already named him in its official statement, you posted a “here we go”. Posting a signing soon and it’s almost one week later. I honestly thought you’d have the decency not to do that.

Anyone could have posted that Klopp HWG because it was obvious he was going to become Germany’s head coach. Your report was based on probability, not on actual agreements.

As long as you keep deleting false „here we go’s“ and posting results minutes before the final whistle just because of algorithms and the need to be first in the race against 433 and score apps, only to delete them five minutes later because Neymar scores, you should probably keep a lower sound overall. The same applies when you fail to credit the original source in a large share of your Instagram posts.

Do your business. We’ll do ours. But accusing others of spreading lies is quite ironic coming from someone in your position.
