Earlier today, it came to light that it was a call from Jose Mourinho that changed the course of Real Madrid's negotiations with Vinicius Jr. over a contract renewal.
The Brazilian star, after all, has been at a standstill with the club in terms of negotiations with both parties refusing to compromise on economic terms.
In recent days, however, there has been a growing sense of optimism that the player will stay at the club, although Los Blancos have been very clear that they will not throw the kitchen sink to ensure he stays.
As reported by Miguel Serrano in his detailed update, Mourinho told Vinicius Jr. in their conversation that it is time for the player to turn the page on the FIFA World Cup chapter.
