Real Madrid could lose one of its brightest jewels much earlier than expected. According to sources close to the Merengue club, Vinicius Jr is seriously planning to leave Europe this summer, driven by an accumulation of internal and external pressures that have become unbearable.
What started as a rumor now takes a dramatic turn: the Brazilian striker is officially under the investigation of the FIFA ethics committee. Originally, a complaint filed on April 7 by the Brazilian company Tiberis Holding accuses Vinicius – via a company linked to his father and his agent Thassilo Soares – of indirectly holding shares in two professional clubs: the Athletic Club of Sao João Del Rei (Brazil) and Alercom (Portugal, D2).
⚠️ A two -year risk of suspension hangs over his career
According to the FIFA ethics code, a player cannot have shares, even indirect, in professional clubs, at the risk of being suspended up to two years of any activity related to football. FIFA would take this case very seriously: an internal source says that an express financial audit has been launched in the wake of the complaint. If the evidence is conclusive, Vinicius could not only miss the next season with Real Madrid, but also the 2026 World Cup.
Within the Madrid locker room, the atmosphere has become electric. President Florentino Pérez, already concerned about the uneven performances of Vinicius in the Champions League, would have summoned an emergency meeting with Xabi Alonso, expected to succeed Carlo Ancelotti this summer. “We have to make a strategic decision. If the sanction falls, you must anticipate. “, Would have said Pérez according to a leak in the Spanish press.
🚨 A heartbreaking decision in sight? Vini ready to return to Brazil …
The player’s entourage, more and more discreet in recent weeks, has refused any official comments. But according to journalist Rodrigo Vasconcelos (TV Globo), Vinicius would have already started discussions with two leading Brazilian clubs. One of them would be Flamengo, his training club, ready to offer him a refuge in the event of suspension.
A return to Brazil could also be used to restore its image and soothe the media storm. Especially since the idea of fleeing a Europe which now seems hostile to it – between criticism, sports pressures and sanction threats – is being convinced.
The final decision could fall before the end of June. For the moment, Real Madrid keeps silence … But behind the scenes, it was a race against the watch that started.
🎭 The Vinicius soap opera has only just started. The next few days promise to explode – and nothing says that the Brazilian will still be in white next season …
