Vinícius was once again in the news for all the wrong reasons 🚨 Espanyol fans hounded him with whistles throughout the match, and Real Madrid had to grind out a 2-1 win. But the harshest blow didn’t come from the stands: it came from a radio studio. Santiago Cañizares, a former Real Madrid goalkeeper, delivered a line that set social media ablaze: “What he gives you football-wise compared to what he takes away from you. You know what was happening? Nobody wants him". According to him, no club came asking about the Brazilian this summer, not even to test the waters, and at most a "lesser" team like Newcastle would have shown interest. The accusation hits exactly where it hurts most: Vinícius has just signed a contract extension with Real Madrid through June 2032, after a year and a half of negotiations. For Cañizares, that renewal wasn’t a reward for his talent, but the only option left for the club, “Nobody wants a player like that at their club,” Cañizares declared.
