Real Madrid continue to search the market for a central defender after the shock of Lenny Euro and his unexpected departure to Manchester United. In light of Perez’s conviction that Real Madrid do not need other deals this summer, Vinicius Junior made a special request to the president to sign this player
Vinicius, who helped Real Madrid a lot off the pitch and convinced many stars to join him at Real Madrid, failed to convince Perez this time to sign his close friend
According to information received from Sky Sport: “Borussia Dortmund contacted Manchester City to discuss the terms of the deal with Yan Couto. Borussia Dortmund has no intention of paying a release clause of 40 million euros, and negotiating the price while Couto is interested in leaving. Borussia Dortmund plans to invest around 20 million euros in signing the Brazilian player.” The network added: Vinicius has a great relationship with Yan Couto, and he would have liked Real Madrid to sign him. However, Real Madrid preferred to continue to trust Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez, and the Brazilian full-back did not fully convince them despite having a good season at Girona
Real Madrid’s idea is to sign a right-back in 2025 or 2026, but for that to happen they have to find someone different, who convinces them in the same way that Alphonso Davies did at left-back
Meanwhile, there is no rush. Dani Carvajal has just had the best season of his career at 32 years old, and Lucas Vazquez has also had a great season, replacing Carvajal when necessary
The network concluded that Vinicius Junior is unhappy because Real Madrid did not sign Yan Couto and Perez ignored the Brazilian player’s request to sign his colleague to join Real Madrid
