Negotiations between Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid have suddenly broken down, according to ESPN Brazil. Talks over a contract extension, previously thought to be progressing well, are now completely stalled.
The issue? Money. Madrid’s offer of €20m per season — without bonuses that could have raised the total to €30m — has been deemed too low by the Brazilian’s camp. Vini already earns €17m, and his representatives argue that a mere €3m increase doesn’t reflect his global superstar status.
Vinicius intends to wait
As a result, discussions are frozen. Vinicius intends to wait and see how the season unfolds under Xabi Alonso before making any long-term commitment.
For Real, who had hoped to lock down their attacking jewel quickly, this unexpected setback leaves the star’s future very much in doubt.
