Vinícius has recently been negotiating with Real Madrid about extending his contract, as his current deal expires in 2027. Real decided to offer him a new, improved contract, but the negotiations have stalled because Vinícius doesn’t want to earn less than Mbappé. Kylian currently earns €31 million, while Vinícius is on €20.8 million. Several rounds of talks have already taken place, but Real informed him that his salary would not exceed €30 million under any circumstances. After that, Vinícius stopped the negotiations.
