Confirmed: Real Madrid will not pay €15m to sign young Brazilian defender this summer

Real Madrid are in store for a very big summer. Kylian Mbappe is expected to finally arrive from Paris Saint-Germain, with a deal to be announced in the coming weeks. Alphonso Davies also looks set to arrive, with Los Blancos likely to enter negotiations with Bayern Munich in the very near future.

This is on top of Endrick Felipe finally arriving, and Leny Yoro could also join, as he has been designated as his central midfield target. However, one player who will not sign is Vinicius Tobias, who has been on loan with Real Madrid for the past two seasons.

Tobias, 20, joined Shakhtar Donetsk on an initial one-year loan deal in the summer of 2022, and that was extended by a further 12 months last summer. There had been high hopes for him among club officials, but he has failed to make an impact on the first team – and even recently lost his place in Castilla.

Ace for AS Diary, Real Madrid will not pay the release clause in Tobias' loan agreement, which is 15 million euros. Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez continue as Carlo Ancelotti's right-back options for next season, meaning Tobias will return to Shakhtar in the summer.

Ancelotti has apparently never been convinced by Tobias, and because he stays for next season, it makes little sense to Real Madrid to splash out to sign it. The young man's career, after this season, will then continue away from the Santiago Bernabeu and Valdebebas.
