Real Madrid Confident Over Rodri Deal and Vinicius Renewal
Real Madrid's board is increasingly confident that Rodri will become the club's next signing, while also believing Vinicius Jr. will eventually agree to a new contract before entering the final year of his current deal.
Madrid believes its summer business is not finished
Real Madrid's board remains optimistic about the club's transfer strategy and believes there is still one major signing left to complete before the new season begins.
According to reports, club executives are convinced that Rodri Hernández is the missing piece in José Mourinho's squad. The Spanish midfielder is viewed as the ideal successor to Toni Kroos in the heart of midfield thanks to his leadership, tactical intelligence, and ability to dictate the tempo of matches.
The confidence comes after an ambitious summer in which Real Madrid strengthened several areas of the squad by signing Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konaté, Bernardo Silva, and Marc Cucurella, while also moving closer to completing the transfer of highly rated youngster Yan Diomande.
Beyond the transfer market, another priority for the club is securing the future of Vinicius Jr. The Brazilian winger is entering the final year of his contract, making his renewal one of the board's most important objectives.
Despite ongoing negotiations, Madrid's leadership believes an agreement will ultimately be reached. Reports suggest the club expects Vinicius to lower his salary demands, which currently exceed the earnings of Kylian Mbappé, the highest-paid player in the squad.
The board is confident that president Florentino Pérez's negotiating skills will help finalize the extension, ensuring one of the club's biggest stars remains a cornerstone of the project.
Should both the Rodri transfer and Vinicius renewal be completed, Real Madrid would enter the 2026-27 campaign with one of Europe's strongest squads and renewed ambitions of competing for every major trophy.
