Vinícius Júnior keeps pushing the limits with Real Madrid: 'He has asked...'

Vinícius Júnior is drawing all of Real Madrid's attention in recent weeks, and for good reason. The issue of his contract renewal has been stalled for months: meetings keep taking place every so often, but so far there haven't been any significant advances. Let's remember that the Brazilian star has a contract until 2027 and still hasn't signed the extension, which is causing maximum concern in certain sectors of Madridism.

This scenario keeps Florentino Pérez on alert, as he considers it urgent to solve Vinícius Júnior's situation as soon as possible. The president needs to know whether he'll renew with Real Madrid or, on the contrary, if he should start planning next season without him. If number 7 decides not to continue, the club will activate his sale in the summer of 2026 to obtain some financial return and prevent him from leaving for free in 2027.

Vinícius Júnior demands a record figure to renew with Real Madrid

The latest reports suggest that this outcome is becoming increasingly likely. According to the newspaper SPORT, Vinícius Júnior has demanded a net salary of €30 million per season to sign his renewal. Florentino Pérez understands that he deserves a top-level contract, but the amount he has requested is completely out of the market even for a player of his stature.

Florentino Pérez refuses to accept that proposal, since doing so would set a dangerous precedent for the wage stability of the locker room. It's true that Mbappé earns much more than Vinícius Júnior, but number 7 must understand that the circumstances of the Frenchman's signing, who had been linked to Madrid for years, are different. However, Vinícius won't back down: He wants €30 million to renew, a figure similar to what Cristiano Ronaldo earned at the time.

An uncertain future for Vinícius Júnior

There's still time to redirect the negotiation, but right now it seems very complicated for Vinícius Júnior to end up renewing with Real Madrid. That's even though Florentino Pérez has put a €20 million annual offer on the table. But not even with that, Vini has demanded €30 million and he doesn't intend to lower that figure.

The upcoming meetings will be decisive in clarifying the Brazilian forward's future. If Vinícius Júnior doesn't lower his financial demands, Real Madrid could assume that his time at Bernabéu has an expiration date. The summer of 2026 is shaping up to be a turning point that could end with the departure of one of the most influential players of recent years.
