Real Madrid can replace Vin Jr if they want, but they will need a good and reliable right winger before they can let him go so that Mbappe will go back to his natural position which is the same position with Vini Jr, then should look for a reliable striker that can score plenty goals like Haaland.
I heard that Vini is yet to pen down another contract extension; isn’t this a sign that he might be saying goodbye to Real Madrid? I think he will later sign a contract extension, but it will depend on how Alonso handles their deciding cases because Alonso seems to be a coach that hates indiscipline, and with the way Mbappé and Vini are in the Real Madrid squad, he needs to make sure they obey instructions so as to make history together.
Real Madrid can now do without Vinicius Jr because they've the necessary player for the club's growth. Madrid president, Florentino Pérez will go for the best stars in the transfer market. He will always do anything to ensure he's sealing the big moves, no time to be relentint because he needs to bring back the glory days in Santiago Bernabéu.
Vinicius Jr no longer seen as the standing pillar in the club? I don't think so, he's just having some rough time but he will definitely bounce back to winning streaks, he just have to make sure he's on the right path and making efforts to bounce back to limelight. Perhaps the new coach, Xabi Alonso will enchance matters and make things a little bit smooth for the Brazilian.
