Marca: Real Madrid gives Vinicius ultimatum — accept final renewal offer or be sold

Real Madrid has issued an ultimatum to Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior, informing his representatives that the club's latest contract renewal offer is final and non-negotiable. According to Marca, after months of stalled talks, Madrid's management demands a resolution this summer: either Vinicius accepts the proposed terms or he will be put up for sale. The club emphasizes it will not break its salary structure for any player, even a core one. Arsenal's reported interest has strengthened Madrid's resolve. Additionally, the impending arrival of Diomande, a versatile winger, provides a tactical alternative, reducing reliance on Vinicius. If Vinicius refuses both renewal and transfer, Madrid is prepared to keep him on his current contract but warns his playing time and tactical role will no longer be guaranteed. The club believes it holds the leverage due to Vinicius's multi-year remaining contract.
