There is no doubt that Vinicius Junior is one of the leading figures in Real Madrid, but he wants to be seen as the most important man – with the idea that this is represented in his contract. However, this attitude causes complications.
The future of Vinicius has been speculated on a large scale in recent months, whereby Saudi Arabia is said to pay a world record costs to take him away from Real Madrid. The 24-year-old pledged himself publicly to Los Blancos after the victory of the Champions League on Tuesday at Manchester City, although his comments did not go well with everyone.
Vinicius' statement that “he wants to stay here for a long time” is seen as the transfer of pressure to Real Madrid officials to offer him an acceptable contract, and according to Sport this was not well received by the managers of the club, Led by the old President Florentino Perez.
In recent weeks it has been reported that Real Madrid's opening contract offer to Vinicius was rejected. The Vinicius would have seen that package as the highest earner alongside Kylian Mbappe, but that is not enough for the Brazilian superstar, who wants the club to break through their wage structure to retain its services.
At this stage, Perez is not willing to give in to the requirements of Vinicius and his representatives, although there is an insistence to have sewn an agreement before the end of the season, to ensure that Saudi Aarabia has no chance To sign him during the summer transfer window.
It would be a very big blow for Real Madrid to lose Vinicius, although the message depicted is that no one is greater than the club. Nevertheless, it is still to be seen who gives the first in the next phase of contract negotiations, which should be more instead of later.
