Despite being one of Madrid's stars, Vinícius doesn't seem completely satisfied. The Brazilian has been essential in the team's recent successes, but he feels that his contract doesn't reflect his true value.
Currently, he earns about 15 million euros net per year, including bonuses. However, the player expects an improvement that places him at the highest tier in the locker room.
Saudi Arabia has shown interest and would be willing to offer him a staggering figure. However, everything indicates that his priority remains Europe, where he wants to continue competing at the highest level.
Rejection of the First Renewal Offer
The English outlet The Athletic has revealed that Vinícius has rejected Real Madrid's first renewal proposal. The club wants to ensure his continuity, but the negotiations won't be easy. The management knows they have to convince him that he is a key piece in the project.
The main obstacle is the salary. Vinícius wants a contract that reflects his status as one of the best in the world. The club is aware of his importance, but they also try to maintain a balance in the salary structure.
PSG Steps In
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri has reported that Vinícius's camp has initiated informal contacts with PSG. The Parisian club is closely monitoring the situation and would be willing to make a move if negotiations with Madrid don't prosper.
PSG is in the midst of reconstruction following Kylian Mbappé's departure, who is expected to sign for Real Madrid. In this context, Vinícius becomes the perfect candidate to lead the French club's new project. Additionally, PSG could offer him a salary much higher than what he currently earns at Madrid.
If Real Madrid doesn't yield and Vinícius doesn't get the salary increase he desires, PSG will be ready to seize the opportunity.
What Will Vinícius Decide?
The ball is in the Brazilian's court. If Real Madrid offers him the contract he considers fair, he will likely continue with the team. However, if the club doesn't meet his financial demands, PSG could be a more than attractive option.
Bernabéu trembles because the possibility of losing its star is not just a rumor. Vinícius has his future in his hands, and his decision will mark a turning point at Madrid.
