Vinicius Junior has established himself as one of Real Madrid’s key players, even competing for the 2023/24 Ballon d’Or. However, not everything between the Brazilian and the club is as smooth as it seems.
Details: According to The Athletic, Real Madrid presented an initial contract extension offer, which Vinicius and his representatives have rejected. They are demanding a salary increase that better reflects his status as one of the world’s top players.
His current annual salary stands at approximately €15 million before taxes, with additional bonuses, including the FIFA Best Player award.
Reminder: Real Madrid is currently engaged in an ongoing dispute with La Liga and the Spanish Football Federation over refereeing controversies in the domestic league.
