Meanwhile, Vinícius Júnior’s future hangs in the balance — his contract’s in its final year, talks stalled over pay. Though they share an agent, Diomandé’s arrival isn’t necessarily tied to Vinícius’ exit — but Madrid could use the young star as proof they’ll still dominate even if Vinícius leaves.
