The Brazilian player may no longer be in Real Madrid’s plans from next season.
Real Madrid has been planning for next season for a long time. And it’s a pity that the person often called the second Vinicius – Vinicius Tobias, right back of Castilla (Real Madrid’s youth team) is about to leave.
Los Blancos have almost decided not to implement the option of signing a new contract with the 20-year-old player from Brazil.
Having caught Ancelotti’s eye since he took over as Real Madrid coach in April 2022, Vinicius Tobias arrived at Valdebebas from Shakhtar, predicted to be a player who will be promoted to the First Team in the future”, but after two years, Tobias did not pass the test and missed the opportunity to play in the official squad.
Once considered “Dani Alves’ heir” in Brazil and a counterweight to Trent Alexander-Arnold, Real Madrid had to spend up to 18 million pounds to bring back the 2004-born defender from Shakhtar Donetsk.
He was hoped to play in the First Team, as a replacement for Dani Carvajal in the future, but in the end, Real Madrid unexpectedly renewed Lucas Vázquez to strengthen the defensive position on the right wing. .
Los Blancos decided to give Vinicius Tobias a try at Castilla first. In the 2022-23 season, despite being in top form, Tobias ended up losing his place in Castilla’s starting eleven at the end, which raised questions about his performance.
The “second Vinicius” gradually lost Ancelotti’s attention, as he only called him up once (in the National Cup with Villarreal) and did not give him the opportunity to join the First Team. However, Real decided to give him another chance and signed a loan contract extension for another year.
With Lucas Vázquez out of contract at the end of this season, the opportunity to win a place in the First Team has come to the Brazilian if he can convince Ancelotti. But that didn’t happen, because Tobias hasn’t even convinced Raul Gonzalez – Castilla’s current coach.
This season, Vinicius Tobias continued to be a disappointment when he had to sit on the bench and did not play for Castilla in 4 consecutive matches. Once again, Tobias lost his form, was just a substitute on the secondary team and lost the hope that the club had given him.
In the end, Real Madrid has no intention of implementing the option to buy him permanently for 10 million euros, and Vinicius Tobias will have to leave the club when the season ends.
With Tobias’ failed bet, everything indicates that the White Vultures will renew with Lucas Vazquez for another year. Meanwhile, at La Fábrica, attention is now focused on Jesus Fortea, the right back of the youth team – the new hope for the club’s future. In fact, more than a week ago, Real signed a new contract with Fortea and completed the contract extension, confirming great expectations for the 17-year-old player.
