Where will Vinicius Jr play next season? It’s a safe bet that even the principal concerned is not capable of answering this question… While a few days ago the Madrid press was very confident about the Brazilian’s extension, the situation has recently changed, after the revelation of enormous differences between what Real Madrid offers and what the player demands. Then, the appearance of an Arsenal determined to recruit the Merengue left winger.
The club from the Spanish capital has reportedly agreed to raise a salary of 20 million euros net in its latest offer to the clan Winewhile the Brazilian currently receives 18 million euros net, bonuses and bonuses included. However, the former Flamengo is visibly demanding 30 million euros annually from his management, in addition to various bonuses, including a bonus for signing his new contract, which Real Madrid refuses. A first step of pressure was also put on by Pérez: either he accepts the last offer made, or he leaves this summer.
Head to head with Mourinho
Arsenal also arrived in force in this matter, with the real desire to enlist the Brazilian, making major financial efforts to convince him. And as indicated A.S.everything should be decided during the coming week. The player will return to Madrid after his vacation and will logically meet with his management to discuss his future… But also with his new coach, José Mourinho.
Indeed, the Canarinha player will have to explain himself to his coach. He will have to communicate his true intentions to him, while the Portuguese should also tell him the plan he has for the number 7 Merengue for the coming season. A discussion which could have a major role in this series. We know that if money is obviously a criterion to take into account, questions of ego are also very important. If Mourinho lets him know that he will be his offensive leader, that could tip the scales in favor of an extension. If the Special One lets him know that he is counting on Mbappé or Bellingham to be his offensive leaders, the Brazilian could well be tempted by a departure. We’ll know more this week…
