It’s not just Rodrygo who tense the direction of Real Madrid right now. The Brazilian, courted by the Premier League and Arsenal in the first place, is paying the price for the arrival of Kylian Mbappé last season. When he holds alongside other stars, the collective lacks balance and when he starts on the bench, he is not happy with his situation. Vinicius Junior (25) is also becoming an indirect consequence of the signing of French.
Author of a fantastic 2023/2024 season (24 goals and 11 assists in 39 games), the former flameng player missed the golden ball of a hair, preceded by Rodri and his character as a gentleman who seduced the jury to the detriment of the Capricious Brazilian. Since then, he has claimed a certain injustice but he has mainly lost part of his football, despite more than honorable statistics (22 goals and 19 assists in 58 games). And that when he has been trying to renegotiate his contract for several months now.
The positions move away between Real and Vinicius
Several times, the positions seemed close, as at the end of last summer, then in the spring. The attacker would sign for two additional seasons, until 2029. It is clear, the formalization is always long overdue. In reality, and in relation to his history in the team, to his record and his involvement in the recent titles of Casa Blanca, he claims the same salary as Kylian Mbappé, which management refuses to him Fournier, and will always refuse in the coming months.
According to the Cadena SerReal is surprised by this request, especially since it comes after a bad season and it annoys. In the current state of things, negotiations are blocked. The two parties give themselves another year to find common ground but the player is already warned: he will never have the salary of his teammate world champion. This will give water to the Saudi mill. For several months, the Saudi Pro League has been on the lookout and wants to make Vinicius the best paid player in the world with a contract of one billion euros over 5 years.
