Real Madrid puts Vinicius Junior up for sale!

The love story between Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior is in trouble. Since arriving from Flamengo for €45 million in the summer of 2018, the 25-year-old Brazilian winger has enjoyed an idyllic career with the Merengues. He has scored 106 goals and provided 83 assists in 322 matches, winning the Champions League twice and La Liga three times. These are enormous achievements for the native of São Gonçalo, who nevertheless had a more complicated last season, despite his statistics remaining as solid as ever (22 goals and 19 assists in 58 matches).

Although under contract until June 2027, Vinicius Junior is open to extending his stay at the Casa Blanca, negotiations have stalled. After several months of discussions, negotiations have stalled. The reason is Vinicius Junior’s salary demands; he wants a salary similar to that of the other star player, Kylian Mbappé. Currently earning €15 million net with the Spanish club, Vinicius would receive €8 million less per year than his French counterpart.

Real Madrid are willing to sell.

However, Vinicius Junior is facing a firm stance from Real Madrid, who are unwilling to offer him that much. The club is also taken aback by the Brazilian’s approach, which follows a difficult few months. This stagnant situation has reportedly prompted Real Madrid to reconsider their position, according to Mundo Deportivo. Consequently, Madridistas are open to letting him leave.

Although the player has a €1 billion release clause that appears impossible to waive, Real Madrid are open to selling him if a significant offer comes in from another team. Linked to Saudi Arabia, particularly Al-Hilal, for many months, Vinicius Junior has always seen Real Madrid take a firm stance on his transfer. This is about to change.
