Real Madrid faces criticism over Vinicius Junior's contract situation

Real Madrid's contract negotiations with Vinicius Junior remain unresolved as the summer transfer window approaches. With less than a year left on his deal, speculation about his future intensifies, particularly from Arsenal, which is reportedly keen to sign the 26-year-old winger. Former goalkeeper Santi Canizares criticized the club’s management for allowing the situation to deteriorate, indicating potential financial loss if the player departs without a renewal. Real Madrid maintains hope for an agreement with Vinicius, but no plans to improve their offer have been outlined. Clarity regarding his future may come when he returns to the club for preseason preparations later this week.
