The Premier League champions have reportedly advised Vinicius to wait and not renew his contract for the time being as part of a long-term plan linked to the year 2027. City’s interest is closely linked to the future of head coach Pep Guardiola, whose contract also runs until 2027.
Sport, a Spanish outlet, reports that Manchester City has entered the situation with a clear strategy. Depending on how their technical direction develops, the English club views Vinicius as a potential key figure in the next phase of the project.
Since there has been no agreement reached in the ongoing discussions for a new contract, Vinicius Junior’s future at Real Madrid is still uncertain. The best teams in Europe are becoming increasingly interested in the Brazilian winger, who is committed to the squad until June 2027.
The months-long negotiations between Vinicius and Real Madrid have reached a challenging point. Vinicius Junior’s future at Real Madrid is uncertain, and Manchester City is keeping a close eye on contract negotiations before 2027.
Man City plan to sign Vinicius if Pep Guardiola leaves
The prospect of signing Vinicius has several high-ranking Man City officials highly interested; however, one of them is not current head coach Pep Guardiola. However, preparations are being made for a move in case the former Barcelona manager decides to leave at the end of the current campaign.
Guardiola wants Rodrygo Goes to join Man City, but Real Madrid has decided he is not movable, and since his contract is longer, there is no room for negotiation. Vinicius is therefore viewed as more feasible, and the Cityzens are willing to pay any asking price.
It will be intriguing to watch how Vinicius’s position develops. Although Kylian Mbappe going out to the left flank would allow Real Madrid to recruit a top-tier striker, losing him would be a huge loss to the team.
