The future of Vinicius Junior as a Real Madrid player has generated a lot of speculation in recent months, and this is a concern for club officials. The Brazilian superstar is from a contract in 2027, and although the idea is that a new long-term agreement has been agreed in the summer, it is complicated by the presence of Saudi Arabia, who want to make the 24-year-old the next Big Saudi Pro League signature .
Earlier this week, Vinicius Junior seemed to bind his future to Real Madrid by saying that he wants to stay “for a long time”. Since then, however, it has been revealed that he has shown a great interest in conversations between his entourage and Saudi Arabia, who went back two years ago.
Real Madrid is not happy with these revelations and there are now more doubts about the two parties that continue together. According to Diario as, they see the situation fairly easily in Saudi Aarabia: it is expected that Vinicius will eventually arrive in the summer when they make their approach.
Nevertheless, Real Madrid has already established that Vinicius is not for sale, and they will go for a new contract towards the end of the season. However, there is daylight between the two parties in terms of the requirements on the table.
It has been reported that Vinicius asks for € 18 million per season, making him the highest earner of the club – for Kylian Mbappe. However, it is also far away from the € 200 million that he would earn if he went to Saudi Aarabia, although it seems that his priority remains in Real Madrid.
It will be interesting to see if progress will be made about contract negotiations in the coming weeks. It is clear that Real Madrid wants to pack everything before the summer, but if that doesn't happen, there can be an opening for Saudi Arabia.
