Real Madrid renewal talks with 25-year-old star complicated by huge wage difference

Real Madrid renewal talks with 25-year-old star complicated by huge wage difference

Contract talks between Vinicius Jr. and Real Madrid are facing a major obstacle as both parties continue to remain far apart financially.

According to reports from Ramon Alvarez de Mon, negotiations between the two parties have slowed significantly because of the salary demands being requested by the Brazilian star’s camp.

Vinicius’ representatives are pushing for a package worth close to €30 million net per season, while Real Madrid are currently unwilling to go beyond approximately €20 million net.

That gap is understood to be the central reason why no agreement has been reached yet.

Details of the matter

The situation is particularly delicate because Vinicius is one of the faces of the club, both on and off the pitch.

The 25-year-old’s importance has only increased following the departures and ageing of several senior figures, and Madrid internally view him as one of the pillars of the next generation.

However, despite the player repeatedly expressing his desire to continue at the Santiago Bernabeu for many years, the financial side of the negotiations is creating growing uncertainty.
