The white club are not considering crossing their red lines due to the renewal of the Brazilian, with the growing threat of Saudi football.
These are happy days at Real Madrid. The thrilling win at the Etihad against Manchester City has strengthened the squad at the start of the scorching stretch of the season, and now the pieces are starting to get in order. Ancelotti's men had a great game against Pep Guardiola's team, with Vinicius Júnior playing a special role.
Justo Vini is the name that sounds the most in Valdebebas in recent weeks. Because of its performance on the green and the uncertainty with its future. "I don't know anything either, no one has spoken to me, you have to talk to the president, and hopefully I can stay here for a long time, this competition gives us something more and I want to make history." They were the last statements of the Brazilian, in Manchester, in which he commented on the possibility of renewing his contract with the Merengue club.
The feeling that runs through the Real Madrid offices is that the possible departure of Vinicius to Arabia is gaining strength, and they do not rule out any scenario. As reported by Relevo on February 7, there was already a meeting between the two parties in January, in which the player's agents declined the first proposals from the Whites, and agreed to continue talking.
The Brazilian wants to be the best paid in the squad, with a salary in line with the status that is assumed of him. Winner of 'The Best' award, and top candidate for the Ballon d'Or, which they believed to be so unfair to Rodri Hernández. Vini gives priority to Real Madrid before making any moves, he is happy and would love to continue, but like the club itself, he has red lines. If they do not meet their demands, the options of leaving for Arabia will be very real.
Mbappé leads the current salary scale of the Madrid team, with a net salary that exceeds 15 million euros plus the bonus for his signing. In the noble zone of Valdebebas they say that Vinicius is also around 15M from the Frenchman, after the bonus for having reached 'The Best'. Mbappé's image rights, also slightly higher than Vini's.
Florentino Pérez will not skip the salary scale for Vini
Florentino Pérez, for his part, is not willing to skip any limit of the salary scale. With no player. Vinicius will be able to play his trump card of being the highest-paid player in the squad, exceeding the Frenchman's 15 million net, but he would never exceed the total amount of the Frenchman, adding what he earns with his signing bonus. The Merengue president is clear that Real Madrid will not experience a case similar to that of Leo Messi at Barça, with an exorbitant salary for the rest of the team's signings.
In this context, the complicated renewal of the Brazilian star, with the threat of Arabia increasingly present. Vinicius signed his last contract in 2022, and it ends in 2027. Since last summer at Madrid they have been trying to bring positions closer to extend their bond with the footballer, but his entourage has postponed these contacts until the first months of this year.
If the Madrid club does not comply with what Vinicius is asking for, the dizzying figures of the Saudi market could take him to Arabia. "An offer that cannot be refused," say figures close to the player, who would reach more than 1,000 million euros net spread over five years. In a few months we will see if the white number 7 would be able to take the definitive step to leave Real Madrid.
