Florentino Pérez has been firm with Vinícius Júnior in discussions regarding his renewal. The president of Real Madrid has made it clear that the current salary structure in the squad will not be altered. The club's leadership has set a cap for its top stars, and nobody will surpass it: neither Vinícius, nor Mbappé, nor Jude Bellingham will earn more than the 15 million euros net per year, which currently represents the highest salary in the squad.
Vinícius had higher aspirations. As reported by DefensaCentral, the Brazilian, aware of his increasing importance in the team and the interest he generates in the market, pressured for a significant improvement. However, Florentino did not concede on the fundamental issue. The "red line" is non-negotiable: no player will be above the club, neither on the field nor in the contract.
Nevertheless, the board did offer compensations in other aspects. Significant improvements have been made in bonuses for goals achieved and income from image rights, allowing the player to earn close to 20 million per season if certain conditions are met. A solution that has convinced the player's camp and brings the final agreement closer.
He has never considered leaving Real Madrid
Vinícius never considered moving to Saudi Arabia in the short or medium term. At only 24 years old, his goal is to continue succeeding at the highest European level. Real Madrid fully trusts his progression but also aims to maintain balance in a squad full of stars.
The arrival of Xabi Alonso has brought some tranquility in that regard. The club knows that it can only function if no star feels superior to the rest. Florentino is clear about this, and Vinícius has received the message.
