Brazilian star Neymar da Silva, who currently plays for Santos and shares a close bond with Vinicius Junior, has directly advised the Real Madrid player to renew his contract and continue at Santiago Bernabéu. He cautioned Vinicius against the potential mistake of leaving a club that has provided him with significant history and recognition.
According to sources close to Vinicius, Neymar has attempted to persuade his compatriot that his sporting future would be more stable and promising at Real Madrid, even if he currently does not enjoy the same level of fame or financial return as French player Kylian Mbappé. He emphasized that any move to a new club, no matter how financially appealing, would not guarantee the "history and prestige" he has already achieved with the Madrid team.
Neymar's advice is influenced by his own past regrets. Reports from the Spanish outlet "okdiario" indicate that Neymar, who has often expressed remorse over his departure from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain, believes leaving Real Madrid could be a strategic error for Vinicius, particularly if his goal is to win the Ballon d'Or. Neymar contends that the competitive environment at Madrid, despite its challenges, offers Vinicius a global platform that cannot be matched elsewhere.
Despite enjoying individual success in Paris, Neymar acknowledges that injuries and a lack of harmony diminished his experience, prompting him to share these insights with Vinicius.
Contract Renewal Crisis
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is maintaining its contract renewal offer to Vinicius, which was initially accepted in May. However, the situation has evolved beyond financial issues, becoming a technical matter concerning the player's relationship with the coach and his expected role following Mbappé's arrival.
Nevertheless, the club's management believes that the current sporting project provides Vinicius with an opportunity to develop and remain among the elite, while the player is looking to finalize details before making a decision.
