After a gap of several weeks, Real Madrid have registered another success in the transfer market after securing Levante forward Carlos Espi by paying his release clause on Thursday. At the same time, they are still pushing to complete the signing of Yan Diomande, while the move for Rodri Hernandez is currently on hold.
Another matter the club are working on, and one that could have major consequences for the squad, is the contract renewal of winger Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian has been in talks with the Merengue club for several months, but the two sides have still not managed to reach an agreement, with only one year remaining on his current deal.
Now, Real Madrid want to bring the issue to a close and, according to MARCA, they have already told the player’s representatives that their latest proposal is the final one and that there will be no more negotiations. The winger must either accept that offer or be placed on the market this summer, so that the club do not risk losing him for free next year.
If the Brazilian does not agree to leave, the prospect of him spending more time on the bench could become far more realistic, especially if the Merengues go on to sign Yan Diomande, who is capable of playing on both flanks.

They still regard him as a crucial player for the team and also believe he deserves a salary increase because of the progress he has shown over the last few years. Even so, they are not prepared to break their wage structure for any player, regardless of how important he may be.
For the moment, it remains to be seen how Vinicius’ camp respond to this final offer, especially with clubs like .
