Real Madrid has yet to reach a decision on a new contract with striker Vinicius Junior. The Madrid club hopes to extend the deal with the 25-year-old star, but negotiations are not progressing as quickly as expected.
According to El Nacional, the main obstacle is the salary gap. Vinicius is demanding a salary of around €30 million per year, and the "royal club" is not yet ready to agree to such a sum. This figure also raises the issue of Real Madrid's internal salary policy and the team's balance - a high salary isn't limited to just one player; it affects the entire dressing room.
The most interesting thing is that Vini doesn't want the negotiations to drag on. Therefore, it is said that he set a condition for the club: the issue must be resolved positively within the next few months. If the parties cannot reach an agreement, the player is also leaving the option of leaving the team open. In short, the "we'll talk later" mode doesn't work here - time is working.
The season's performance also explains why Vinicius feels confident: he played 30 matches in all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists. His current contract runs until the summer of 2027.
Now, the main question for Real Madrid is one: will they take a financial step to keep Vinicius in the team, or will the club remain firm in its principles? For fans, every piece of news on this topic is like a series approaching its finale: you want the ending to come quickly, but every episode has nerves.
