Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Kiko Casilla has advised the club to have an open conversation with Vinicius Jr. about his future, especially with reports linking the Brazilian star to the Saudi Pro League.

He believes it would be a mistake for Madrid to dismiss the offers outright without first knowing how Vinicius feels.l

Speaking to AS, Casilla admitted he is unsure if the rumored offers from Saudi clubs are real, but he emphasized that the club should not assume Vinicius wants to stay without asking him.

He stressed that forcing an unhappy player to remain could have a negative effect on the team.

“If I were in the club’s position, the first thing I would do is ask the player what he wants. If a player wants to leave, you have to respect that,” Casilla said.

However, he personally thinks Vinicius should reject the move. “If I were in Vinicius’ shoes, I would stay. I respect the Saudi league, but Real Madrid is Real Madrid.

You are young, a key player, and you still have many years to bring joy to the fans. The Saudi clubs could come back in five years with another offer, but right now, you should stay.”
