Real Madrid have decided to sell star man next summer following incident in recent El Clasico win: Reports

Real Madrid are reportedly planning to sell Vinicius Jr after the ongoing season. The Spanish side are willing to cash in on the Brazilian, who is yet to sign a new deal at the club.

According to a report in Sport Bild, Vinicius Jr's reaction during the 2-1 El Clasico win over Barcelona has been noted by the board, who believe the best solution is to sell the Brazilian. The winger did issue an apology for his angry reaction towards manager Xabi Alonso and said:

"Today I want to apologize to all the Madridistas for my reaction when I was substituted in the Clasico. Just as I have already done in person during today’s training, I also want to apologise again to my teammates, the club, and the president.

"Sometimes passion gets the better of me because I always want to win and help my team. My competitive character stems from the love I feel for this club and everything it represents. I promise to keep fighting every second for the good of Real Madrid, as I have done since the first day."

Vinicius Jr and Los Blancos have reportedly been in contract talks over the last few months, but have not reached an agreement. He has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, with clubs said to be ready to sign him.

The Brazilian has a contract until 2027, and will be in the final year of his deal when the current season ends. Los Blancos do not plan to offer him a contract meeting his terms.

Former Real Madrid star urged the club to sell Vinicius Jr

Earlier this year, former Real Madrid star Luis Milla spoke to El Desmarque, claiming that it was time for Los Blancos to sell Vinicius Jr. He believes that Kylian Mbappe should be playing on the left wing and the club should invest the money to sign a striker, and said (via Tribal Football):

"If I were a sporting director, I would sell Vinicius and buy a striker to allow (Kylian) Mbappé to play on the left wing. Vini is a great player, but the club must also consider the image he transmits. Yes, his performances are at a high level, but his image is not always the best. He has a significant market value and Real Madrid could reinvest that money in big purchases."

Vinicius Jr has been linked with Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad, but the winger has opted to focus on Real Madrid.
