Florentino Pérez has stated that Vinícius Júnior will not be blocked from leaving Real Madrid if he decides against extending his contract.
The Brazilian forward’s future at the LaLiga side remains unresolved, with discussions over a new deal still ongoing.
Speaking to El País, Pérez addressed speculation about the winger’s situation, expressing his desire for him to remain at the club long-term.
“There is time [to sign an extension]. I would love for him to stay for the rest of his life.
“He is deeply identified with the club. You know who doesn’t like him? People who aren’t Real Madrid fans.
“If he doesn’t want to be at Madrid and wants to sign with someone else, he will be free to do so. I’m not going to force him into anything.
“Money will not be the most important factor – it never has been.”
