Vinicius Junior wants to be recognized as Real Madrid’s main star, seeking a contract that reflects his status.
However, this demand is complicating negotiations with club president Florentino Perez.
Despite reports of a world-record offer from Saudi Arabia, Vinicius reaffirmed his commitment to Real Madrid after their Champions League win over Manchester City. However, his remarks were seen as pressuring the club to meet his contract demands.
Madrid’s initial offer, making him the joint-highest earner with Kylian Mbappe, was rejected, as Vinicius wants the club to break its wage structure. Perez is reluctant but aims to finalize a deal before the season ends to prevent Saudi interest.
The standoff continues, with both sides yet to compromise in the next phase of negotiations.
