Real Madrid cleans up two Brazilian superstars and will earn 260 million euros. These three reasons also exacerbate the two s departure

Last season was undoubtedly a failed season for La Liga giants Real Madrid. Real Madrid suffered failures in the league and the Champions League. After entering the offseason, Real Madrid also replaced its head coach. The club hopes that Alonso can lead the team out of the current dilemma. However, judging from the World Cup, Real Madrid still has relatively big problems, especially the personnel structure issues, which urgently need to wait for Alonso to solve.

Recently, Spanish reporter François Gallardo dropped a bombshell. According to reports, Real Madrid has already started the departure procedures of Vinicius and Rodrigo. Although this "global exclusive" revelation has not been confirmed by mainstream media, it accurately hits the sensitive nerves of Real Madrid's summer window operation. That is, when Mbappe came to the Bernabeu, the club's management is facing unprecedented structural adjustments. After a season, it has been proved that it is difficult for Mbappe and Vinicius to coexist. Alonso also knows this clearly, so Real Madrid seems to need to make a choice among the two.

In fact, Vinicius' current situation in Real Madrid has reflected Real Madrid's final choice. The Brazilian top player, whose value of 170 million euros, had already collapsed in his core position last season. According to statistics from Marca, its average number of touches per game fell by 23% compared with the 2022-23 season, and its key passes decreased by 1.2 times. What's even more fatal now is that in the tactical experiment of new coach Alonso, Vinicius was not only arranged to try the right side (his left side offense accounted for as much as 78%), but even appeared on the bench lineup many times during training. This blurring of positioning also made Winnieus very dissatisfied. Some media reported that Winnieus refused to negotiate a contract renewal with Real Madrid.

, and Rodrigo's situation at Real Madrid is even more sinister. After half a season, his value has shrunk to 90 million euros. The 23-year-old genius is in an existential crisis. When Ancelotti's era can still contribute 17 goals and 10 assists (2022-23 season), but under the Alonso system, he has completely become a marginalist: the Club World Cup is substitute throughout the entire club. As a second striker who needs the ball, under the dual-core structure of Mbappe and Bellingham, the defect of insufficient running ability without the ball is infinitely magnified, so Rodrigo will also be cleaned by Real Madrid.

And these three reasons have also exacerbated the departure of these two Brazilian superstars:

1. The Vinicius contract expires in 2027, and this summer is the last golden period for cashing out.

2. Mbappe joins need to release salary space (Vinicus' annual salary after tax)

3. Rodrigo's downward channel has been opened, and stop loss is imminent

In addition, La Liga salary expert Javier Gómez estimates that if Real Madrid retains its existing forward line, the proportion of salary in 2025 will break through the UEFA Fiscal Fairness Act red line (70%), so this also forces Florentino to make a choice.
