Negotiations on the brink of collapse! Real Madrid not ready to meet Vinicius's main demand

The future of Vinicius Junior in Madrid is once again shrouded in uncertainty.

Details: According to insider Pepe Alvarez, José Mourinho does not consider the Brazilian winger a key player for his new-look Real Madrid. The club is not pushing for his departure, but is open to considering a lucrative transfer offer.

One of the main stumbling blocks in negotiations remains the player's financial demands. According to Alvarez, Real cannot afford to pay Vinicius a signing bonus of €80 million, nor grant him 80% of his image rights.

Thus, the Madrid club is not looking to offload the Brazilian at any cost, but under Mourinho, his status as an untouchable player is no longer guaranteed. If a truly advantageous offer arrives, the management is prepared to consider selling the winger.

It's worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, Vinicius scored 22 goals across all competitions. Real ended the campaign without a trophy for the second consecutive year, finishing second in La Liga, eight points behind Barcelona.

Reminder: The conclusion is near! Real Madrid make key decision on Vinicius..
