Vinícius continues negotiations with Real Madrid over a new contract. However, an agreement is still far off, as the Brazilian’s demands significantly exceed the expectations of the "Galácticos." This was reported by Cadena SER.
Details: The Madrid club made an initial offer to the player, but Vinícius rejected it, deeming the financial terms unsatisfactory. A second meeting between the club and the player’s representatives followed, during which the Brazilian’s demands were presented.
The star Brazilian is asking for 25 million euros "net" in his new contract. Notably, besides him, the club’s highest-paid players are Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham. The salary of all three players is approximately 15 million euros per season after taxes.
Reminder: The club’s management is not willing to compromise its financial stability, knowing that this could lead other players to demand salary increases as well. Furthermore, Vinícius is already receiving a substantial bonus from the club, which will remain in place if his contract is extended.
