Real Madrid President, Florentino Perez, has said he will not stand in the way of Vinicius Junior if he decides to leave the club.

Vinicius’ future at the LaLiga giants remains uncertain, as negotiations over a new contract continue to drag on.

Perez, speaking with El Pais, addressed rumours surrounding the Brazilian winger.

He said: “There is time [to sign an extension]. I would love for him to stay for the rest of his life.

“He is deeply identified with the club. You know who doesn’t like him? People who aren’t Real Madrid fans.

“If he doesn’t want to be at Madrid and wants to sign with someone else, he will be free to do so. I’m not going to force him into anything.

“Money will not be the most important factor – it never has been.”
