Real Madrid could lose one of its brightest stars much sooner than expected. According to sources close to the club, Vinicius Jr. is seriously considering leaving Europe this summer, driven by an accumulation of internal and external pressures that have become unbearable.
What began as a rumor has now taken a dramatic turn: the Brazilian striker is officially under investigation by the FIFA Ethics Committee. A complaint filed on April 7 by the Brazilian company Tiberis Holding accuses Vinicius—through a company linked to his father and his agent Thassilo Soares—of indirectly owning shares in two professional clubs: Athletic Club de Sao João del Rei (Brazil) and Alercom (Portugal, D2).
⚠️ A RISK OF A TWO-YEAR SUSPENSION HOLDS OVER HIS CAREER
According to the FIFA Code of Ethics, a player cannot own shares, even indirect ones, in professional clubs, at the risk of being suspended for up to two years from all football-related activities. FIFA is reportedly taking this matter very seriously: an internal source claims that a rapid financial audit was launched following the complaint. If the evidence proves conclusive, Vinicius could miss not only the next season with Real Madrid, but also the 2026 World Cup.
The atmosphere inside the Madrid dressing room has become tense. President Florentino Pérez, already concerned about Vinicius’s uneven performances in the Champions League, reportedly called an emergency meeting with Xabi Alonso, tipped to succeed Carlo Ancelotti this summer. “We have to make a strategic decision. If the sanction comes, we have to anticipate,” Pérez reportedly confided, according to a leak to the Spanish press.
🚨 A HEARTBREAKING DECISION AHEAD? VINI READY TO RETURN TO BRAZIL…
The player’s entourage, who have become increasingly discreet in recent weeks, has refused to comment officially. However, according to journalist Rodrigo Vasconcelos (TV Globo), Vinicius has already begun talks with two top Brazilian clubs. One of them is Flamengo, his training club, which is ready to offer him a safe haven in the event of a suspension.
A return to Brazil could also serve to restore his image and calm the media storm. Especially since the idea of fleeing a Europe that now seems hostile to him—between criticism, sporting pressure, and threats of sanctions—is apparently starting to convince him.
The final decision could be made before the end of June. For now, Real Madrid is keeping quiet… but behind the scenes, a race against time has begun.
🎭 The Vinicius saga is only just beginning. The next few days promise to be explosive—and there’s no guarantee the Brazilian will still be wearing white next season…
