The season has just started for Real Madrid and one thing is clear: the situation of Vinícius Júnior remains (and will remain) unsolved. With a contract until 2027, he still hasn't renewed his contract and he has no intention of doing so, casting doubt on his continuity at Bernabéu.
The situation right now is tense, with Real Madrid trying to resume negotiations and the Brazilian stalling. He isn't at all happy with the salary they're offering him, wanting to be on par with Mbappé. In this regard, Vinícius Júnior has always been very clear about his conditions: he wants to be the highest paid in the squad, tied with the Frenchman at the very top of everything.
"He will play without renewing"
In the last few hours, "OKDiario" has made it official that Vinícius's stance is unmovable. He intends to play without renewing during this campaign. Real Madrid will try to make him change his mind, but right now it seems complicated.
There's some disappointment about how the Brazilian is showing himself, with those inside Madrid believing he wants to force his exit at a low cost or for free.
At times, he considered going to play in Saudi Arabia, where he would've been the highest paid on the planet. But at all times Vinícius Júnior asked for a short-term contract, being able to choose his future each year. This was rejected by Saudi Arabia, telling him that if they paid the amount Real Madrid demanded, they wouldn't let him leave so quickly.
However, if he could leave for free or at a low cost, Saudi Arabia would keep a more flexible stance in that regard.
Florentino has a plan underway
What "Madrid-Barcelona" has learned is that Florentino Pérez is very angry and he doesn't plan to let the Brazilian do whatever he wants.
The idea the president of Real Madrid has is to try to negotiate his renewal during this campaign, but by giving him an ultimatum. If May arrives without his contract being extended, he'll be put on the market.
With only 1 year left on his contract, the amount to be obtained will be less than desired, but it's much better than a free exit. His signing has more than paid off and he would always leave for more than €100 million.
Throughout all these years, Florentino has shown that his hand doesn't tremble in cases like this. Legends such as Cristiano Ronaldo or Ramos can attest to that. Nothing will change with Vinícius Júnior...
