Vinicius rejects €22m contract offer from Real

Why it matters

Vinicius Jr.'s contractual situation is crucial for the future of Real Madrid, especially with his contract expiry approaching. An agreement could not only secure the presence of this Brazilian star in the team, but also avoid a delicate situation similar to that of Cristiano Ronaldo, who also experienced contractual tensions within the club. La Liga football could be impacted by a possible departure of Vinicius, a key player for the Spanish championship.

Key points

• Vinicius rejects a 22 million euro contract offer from Real.
• declined Real Madrid's latest offer of 22 million euros net per season, asking for a contract worth 30 million.
• Vinicius rejects €22 million Real Madrid contract offer as Cristiano Ronaldo parallels emerge.

The future of Vinicius Jr. at Real Madrid is entering a crucial phase with a decisive meeting scheduled quickly between the Madrid club and the player as well as his entourage. Faced with the end of his contract in less than a year, Real are looking to reach a new agreement in order to secure the future of their Brazilian star. In the event of failure, a departure could be considered, especially as several clubs, including Arsenal, are closely monitoring the evolution of the situation.

According to information from El Larguero, Vinicius rejected Real Madrid's latest salary proposal set at 22 million euros net per season until 2031. The player is in fact asking for an annual salary close to 30 million euros net, a request that the Spanish club is refusing for the moment. This sum would have made the Brazilian one of the highest paid players in the squad, but a significant gap persists in the negotiations.

Real Madrid, faithful to its restrictive salary policy under the presidency of Florentino Pérez, seem determined not to change their remuneration structure, even for a star like Vinicius. One solution envisaged could be an increase in the player's image rights to improve the offer without contravening the club's salary limits. This option will also be discussed during the meeting planned for the coming days.

Coach José Mourinho, who is counting on Vinicius in his post-World Cup plans, has an excellent relationship with the player, which could favor a compromise in these delicate negotiations. The context is also strongly reminiscent of that of Cristiano Ronaldo upon his departure from Real in 2018, where a salary dispute opposed the striker to the club.

Journalist Tomas Roncero highlighted this striking comparison on El Larguero: CR7 had received around 22 million euros net in his last Madrid contract, exactly the amount offered to Vinicius today. At the time, Ronaldo wanted a salary close to 30 million, as is currently the case for the Brazilian. Madrid did not give in, ultimately offering 25 million before the Portuguese left.

This similarity portends an eventful summer for Real Madrid and Vinicius, where history could well repeat itself. The outcome will largely depend on the results of this momentous meeting, which should determine whether the Brazilian stays in Madrid or seeks his future elsewhere.

The rest

A decisive meeting is planned between Vinicius Jr. and Real Madrid to try to find common ground on his salary. If no solution is found, the player could consider leaving, with Arsenal lying in wait to take advantage of the situation. Discussions on an increase in image rights could also play a key role in future negotiations.
