Real Madrid puts Vinicius Junior for sale. Yesterday, the Catalan media, Mundo Deportivorevealed that the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium are ready to open the door to a departure from the Brazilian international in the event of a offer deemed very important. Information that has made the effect of a bomb. But to believe The Athleticreality would be very different. The British publication ensures this Tuesday that the relatives of Vini Jr insisted that they have received no approach from Saudi Arabia recently and that the attacker will remain well within Casa Blanca this 2025-26 season. The idea is therefore to move forward on an extension of contract. A file that has not really advanced since last winter according to the Cadena Ser.
The Iberian media explains that Madrid leaders thought they had practically completed the extension a few months ago. The plan was to offer him a salary of € 20 million per year, not to mention the bonuses. But the situation has changed. Real Madrid's bosses do not plan to contact the 25 -year -old player’s agent immediately. The latter asked to align his client's salary with that of Kylian Mbappé before his foal signed an extension. The Vinicius Jr clan therefore claims 30 M € per season, including a fixed amount of 25 M €, the rest being bonuses. Which is not to the taste of the Merengues, who do not want to explode the wage grid.
The Vinicius Jr clan wants to touch as much or more than Mbappé
If Florentino Pérez and Vinicius Jr can still settle all this between them, the Cadena Ser Add that the situation is moving behind the scenes. “Real Madrid supporters are starting to get tired of certain Vinicius attitudes. He is not in a position to claim what Mbappé (…) He gives Real Madrid reasons not to prolong it ”Comments Julio Pulido on Spanish radio. In the same program, Santi Ovall added:“If he did not give in to these Real Madrid legends (Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos who asked for more money to prolong, note), Florentino will accept an offer from Saudi Arabia and that's it.”
Same story for journalist Marcos López: “The problem for Vinicius is that he suddenly feels away from Real Madrid. He believed himself the king and the only star in Real, and they brought in a real star, and now he is no longer in his place on the ground. ” There Cadena Ser believes that the Brazilian is not in a position of strength today. “Vinicius has lost its visibility in attack throughout the year. Mbappé started the year by scoring little goals, while the Brazilian wore the team. But since the Gala of the Ballon d'Or, the performances of Vinicius have dropped considerably, and it was Mbappé who carried the team, even finishing top scorer in the championship. ”
Real Madrid keeps Rodrygo under the elbow
In addition to eclipizing the international Auriverde on the ground, KM10 receives a salary that is talking. “They bet on a player as important as Mbappé, and this has consequences: this creates an imbalance in the locker room. In the spirit of Vinicius, I see him think that Madrid gives more to Mbappé ”explained Aritz Gabilondo on the Cadena Ser. Another consultant added: “The amount requested (by Vinicius JR, editor's note) is higher than when he was a candidate for the Ballon d'Or. The year of Vinicius has caused a drop in price (…) Madrid has a star player in Mbappé, the transfer could go wrong for Vinicius who is in a bad time to ask for more. ”
And for some, you have to move on and let Vinicius Jr go to avoid problems. “You put Mbappé on the left and sign a renowned attacker and you have a fixed team.” What is certain is that Real Madrid takes its case very seriously. The Spanish media also specifies that the Florentino Pérez club will never give such a salary to two players. Which could facilitate the departure of Vini Jr. by the way, the Cadena Ser Indicates that some sources at the club insist that Real Madrid has not yet sold Rodrygo in the event that Saudi Arabia would offer an XXL offer for Vinicius Jr. summer will be long in Madrid…
