id looking to sell Vinicius Jr

 

🚨 Real Madrid’s relationship with Vinicius Jr. has reached a critical point, with contract renewal talks stalled due to his demand to become the highest-paid player, surpassing Kylian Mbappe’s €15 million net annual salary, according to SPORT. 

Vinicius, whose current deal runs until 2027 with a €15 million net salary, is seeking €30 million per year, including a significant renewal bonus. 

Real Madrid, adhering to president Florentino Perez’s strict wage policy, are willing to raise his salary to €20 million but refuse to break their salary structure, fearing a chain reaction of demands from other stars like Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. 

Frustrated by what they perceive as financial pressure from Vinicius’ camp, the club is seriously considering selling him this summer for a massive fee, potentially exceeding €100 million, to avoid a reduced transfer value as his contract nears its final year. 

Interest from Saudi Arabia, offering a €1 billion deal over five years, and European clubs like Chelsea, where Real Madrid are monitoring Cole Palmer, adds to the speculation. 

The club’s board believes selling Vinicius now could maintain squad balance and financial stability, especially with 16-year-old academy talent Bryan Bugarin emerging as a potential future star with a similar profile.
