The chess match of desires in the future of Vinicius Junior is still being played little by little, with the most recent step as the Brazilian who reveals his contract requirements to Real Madrid. However, he would be open to a rather surprising solution for the predicted blockade in contract discussions.
As he stated on different occasions, Vinicius is happy in Real Madrid and wants to stay in the club. That is also the intention of Real Madrid, but for no price. The 24-year-old has told Real Madrid that he wants to earn € 20-25 million per season, a significant increase in his current salary of € 15 million, which is the same amount as Kylian Mbappe earns.
President Florentino Perez, however, does not want to break the salary structure in the club, knowing that a wage increase for Vinicius means that increases for Mbappe and probably also Jude Bellingham. That is why the two parties are on something of a roadblock, while Saudi Arabia reimbursed figures of € 300-400 million on transfer and a contract of € 1 billion for Vinicius for five years.
It was recently reported that Vinicius would prefer a shorter contract in the middle, and sport says that it can be part of a strange sounding proposal. Vinicius is open to signing a deal of two to three years in Saudi Arabia, and then return to Real Madrid, after earning the money he wants. It is noted that this proposal will probably not convince the Saudi side, who may not consider it true money, and neither Real Madrid.
Certainly the events, the consistent reports of Saudi interest and some criticism of Vinicius's behavior suggest that although Vinicius can use their offer as leverage, there is an openness for the idea of ​​selling Vinicius for an exorbitant compensation. Real Madrid has no shortage of attacking options in his position, and the sound that surrounds him has sometimes frustrated his colleagues.
