Real Madrid Refuse Vinicius Jr’s €30M Demands, Set Deadline for Contract Resolution

Real Madrid have drawn a clear line in the sand in their contract negotiations with star forward Vinicius Jr, firmly rejecting his request to match Kylian Mbappé’s salary package.

According to SER Deportivos, Los Blancos have told the Brazilian winger that he has one more season to prove his worth at the highest level. If there’s no improvement or compromise in salary expectations, the club will consider selling him rather than offering a raise.

This decision comes after months of stalled negotiations. Vinicius has reportedly been pushing for a €30 million per year package, including a renewal bonus — a figure that Madrid view as excessive, especially after their financial commitment to new arrival Kylian Mbappé.

Vinicius, now 25, remains under contract with Madrid until June 2027, but the club’s unwillingness to meet his demands has created a tense standoff.

⚖️ Opinion: Loyalty vs Market Value

While Vinicius Jr has been a key figure in Madrid’s recent success — notably scoring the winner in the 2022 UEFA Champions League final — the arrival of Mbappé has shifted the financial dynamics at the club.

The reality is, Madrid won't break their wage structure twice. If Vinicius sees himself on par with Mbappé, he’ll need to deliver a Ballon d'Or-worthy season — and even then, club president Florentino Pérez may not budge easily.

Some fans argue that Vinicius deserves parity based on contribution, others say no player should hold the club to ransom. Either way, the next 12 months could define his Real Madrid future.
