Vinicius juniorRenewal of contracts has become a gathering point since Saudi pro league expressed a strong interest in signing him. With its current business that lasts until June 2027, reports indicate that the Brazilian star has already communicated its wage requirements to Real MadridThe prompts questions about whether they will surpass Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe.
Mbappe’s signing in the summer raised the eyebrows in the Real Madrid dressing room. Although he consents to a salary of approximately $ 15 million ($ 15.7 million), similar to Vinicius, Mbappe’s free agent status caused the club to include additional bonuses totaling about $ 40 million ($ 42 million). Given Vinicius’ growing interest from Saudi Arabia, the Brazilian forward is now reportedly to drive for a salary increase.
According to Toño García from ChainThe Vinicius has demanded Real Madrid a salary increase to over 25 million euros net of taxes. This amount, he claims, reflects its status as one of the best players in the world.
So far, the club and Vinicius have had two meetings. In the first, Vinicius’s camp rejected the first offer from Real Madrid because of its relatively low financial conditions. In the second, the club managers reportedly asked Vinicius agents to propose a salary figure. While that figure has not yet been revealed, It is expected to exceed 25 million euros. A third meeting is planned to further discuss the amount requested.
This offer would far exceed Kylian Mbappes 15 million euros and Jude Bellingham’s 10 million euros. Now Real Madrid must decide to meet Vinicius’s requirements – a decision that can cause discomfort in the dressing room, given Mbappe’s latest contract and Bellingham’s renewal, which is not even on the agenda yet.
