Manchester United contacts Vinicius Junior’s agent amid unrest at Real Madrid
Rumours regarding the future of Vinicius Junior at Real Madrid are becoming increasingly intense, and Manchester United are said to have taken early steps to seize a potential opportunity.
According to an initial report from Caught Offside, Man Utd have “contacted the representative of the Brazilian forward – Vinicius Junior – who is currently unsettled at Real Madrid.” This move clearly shows the Red Devils’ intent and readiness should the situation in Madrid continue to deteriorate. It is a crucial moment in the rebuilding process under manager Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford. United are in need of an attacking star capable of transforming a game in an instant, and very few players in the world fit that profile better than Vinicius.
Caught Offside reveals that “there have been issues between Vinicius and manager Xabi Alonso, with some key players not particularly fond of the Brazilian star since Alonso took charge.” This is a notable detail, as Real Madrid rarely allow elite attacking talents to leave at the peak of their careers—unless internal fractures begin to surface. Although president Florentino Perez still maintains “a very good relationship” with Vinicius, the growing rift between the player and the head coach has created a delicate situation. The report also stresses that “Real are trying to keep Vinicius” despite the increasingly complicated circumstances.
With a contract running until 2027, Real Madrid still hold a major financial advantage—even as the Brazilian forward seeks a higher salary—but football decisions often depend on trust and harmony in the dressing room. Sources confirm: “MUFC have expressed interest to the player’s representatives, but it is still too early to know whether the deal will progress.” Still, this proactive early approach suggests that Man Utd want to gain an edge before the transfer market becomes hectic.
Meanwhile, Manchester City and several other major European clubs are closely monitoring the situation, ready to act if Real cannot resolve their internal tensions. Vinicius is considered an extremely appealing potential signing for Manchester United as well as many other top clubs.
