Questions are again being raised about Vinicius Junior's future at Real Madrid as footage of him walking into Real Madrid boss Florentino Perez has emerged.

With just six matches left in La Liga season, the title race between historic rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid is heating up.

As it stands, Barcelona top the table with 82 points following their 1-0 win over Celta Vigo on Wednesday night, with Real Madrid behind on 73 points.

With the gap now at nine points with only six games left, it's understandable that Real Madrid fans are already looking ahead to the upcoming summer transfer window.

As always, Real Madrid are already being linked with several big names, but perhaps the biggest transfer story surrounding the club centres around the future of current player Vinicius Junior.

Vinicius has long been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu, but it appears a transfer may be closer than ever after the Brazilian was seen barging into club President Perez.

Perez was waiting in the tunnel at the Bernabeu to greet his team's players when Vinicius approached and although he shook hands with the club President, he then harshly walked into the 79-year-old.

The Real Madrid chief quickly looked around at Vinicius, clearly taken aback by the gesture, but the winger appeared to shake him off and continue walking down the tunnel.

Just moments later Kylian Mbappe arrived, making the incident with Vinicius look even worse as he embraced Perez, patting him on the back.

What club could Vinicius Junior transfer to in the summer?

It's no secret that Real Madrid are eager to extend Vinicius' contract but with negotiations stalling ahead of his current deal expiring in 2027, it looks likely that he is set to leave in the summer.

The Saudi Pro League has long been tipped as the most likely destination for the 25-year-old, who is said to be demanding a salary in the region of £26million a year (£500,000 per week).

Such a high salary is believed to be more than achievable for clubs in Saudi Arabia, with the only other options available to the Brazilian likely to be European giants like Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.

However, it has also been reported that Manchester United are among those looking to capitalise on his ongoing situation by making a stunning move in the summer.

Overall, Vinicius Jr's agents have reportedly contacted United and Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool regarding a possible summer switch for the forward.
