Brazilian star Vinicius Junior’s contract renewal with Real Madrid is in trouble. Spanish journalist Tono Garcia told ‘El Larguero’ that the winger has not yet accepted any offer from the club and is demanding more.
Vinicius has a current contract with Real Madrid until June 2027. There has been no progress in talks between the two sides over a contract renewal. Real Madrid want to keep Vinicius at the club for the long term. However, the 24-year-old forward is adamant about his financial demands.
Garcia said Vinicius’ representatives are not interested in discussing a new contract right now. In his words, “Vinci’s agents don’t want to hear anything about it right now. They think that the news that Vinicius agreed to a renewal with Madrid was actually a misunderstanding.”
It is reported that Vinicius never gave the green light to Real Madrid’s proposed salary (around 20 million euros). The forward considers the annual salary of around 20 million euros insufficient. He wants more than 25 million euros as a net salary per season. This would make him the highest-paid player at the club.
In this situation, negotiations between the two parties are currently suspended. Although both parties are interested in reaching an agreement, the deadlock may be prolonged due to disagreements over salaries. Real Madrid has not yet given any indication of accepting Vinicius’ demands. It is reported that this deadlock may continue until next season unless one party makes concessions.
