Vinícius Júnior's Future at Real Madrid Is Uncertain. He has a contract in effect until 2027 and, whenever he has spoken publicly, he has made it clear that he wants to continue. Despite this, the proposal from Saudi Arabia is making him doubt, which is complicating the negotiations for the extension of his contract. The signing of Mbappé hasn't helped either, whose salary is higher than the Brazilian's.
Precisely the main problem with Vinícius Júnior's continuity is the salary. Journalist Manu Carreño, host of "El Larguero," has spoken about it. He has been blunt in this regard, indicating that he wants to surpass what his teammate Mbappé currently earns, becoming the highest-paid player in the entire Real Madrid squad.
"Real Madrid already knows that Vinícius wants to surpass 15 million euros net and earn between 20 and 25 million euros. For now, Vinícius has told Real Madrid that he wants to stay here, but he wants to earn more," Manu Carreño pointed out.
In this regard, he continued saying: "I don't see Real Madrid giving him 25 million euros to stay. What I don't know is what the player will do if Madrid doesn't accept it. Although I'm told that he prioritizes staying in Madrid above all and sees the 5 years in Saudi Arabia as too long."
Real Madrid Won't Do Anything Crazy for Vinícius Júnior
What Florentino is clear about is that he doesn't intend to engage in any standoff to secure Vinícius's continuity. In the past, he didn't do it with players of the caliber of Ronaldo or Ramos, and he won't change this now. In the event that he wishes to leave and presents a proposal, he won't be offered a renewal: he has the doors open to leave if he comes with 1 billion.
Real Madrid Won't Negotiate His Sale, as announced by Josep Pedrerol, thus referring to his release clause. Nor will a possible improvement of his contract be negotiated, something he has been requesting (especially in the economic aspect) since Mbappé's arrival. He has a contract until 2027 and a release clause within reach of very few.
Despite these rumors being bothersome at this precise moment, the reality is that in Madrid there is no concern regarding a departure of Vinícius Júnior. It is considered that they have the upper hand and a possible farewell of the Brazilian wouldn't change anything, as there are no negotiations and he can only leave for what his clause stipulates.
