According to reports from SER Deportivos, Real Madrid have taken a firm stand — Vinicius Jr. won’t be getting the same salary package as Kylian Mbappe.
And no be small thing. The club has reportedly given the Brazilian forward one year to prove himself on the pitch before they revisit any fresh salary negotiations. Otherwise? They could put him up for sale.
Omo, this is going to be hot.
Contract Talks Hit Brick Wall
Earlier this month, talks between Real Madrid and Vinicius nearly reached the finish line, but everything scattered over one thing — money.
The 25-year-old is allegedly asking for a €30 million annual package, including bonuses, which the club believes is just too much.
Sources claimed this demand has been on the table for months, and Madrid is not ready to break the bank again — especially after already sealing Mbappe’s record deal.
One-Year Ultimatum
Rather than keep pushing, Madrid has reportedly told Vinicius to focus on balling this season — if his performance improves significantly, they’ll return to the table. But if not? E fit be goodbye.
Vinicius still has a contract running until June 2027, and he’s been at the Bernabeu since his 2018 move from Flamengo, but this latest standoff might test his future at the club.
Omo, make we no lie — Madrid no dey play when it comes to wages.
What Next?
For now, both parties seem to be in a cold war. Vinicius isn’t backing down from his demands, and talks haven’t moved in months.
Whether he stays and earns his raise or decides to look elsewhere could depend entirely on how he performs this coming season.
