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.
It looks there is big disagreement between Vinícius Jr. and Real Madrid. Vinícius wants to be paid same as Kylian Mbappé which means he is asking for more than €31 million each year. However Real Madrid is not willing to pay him more than €30 million.
Vinícius current contract does not end until 2027 so he is in fairly strong position. But Real Madrid also has few years to figure things out. This discussion could take long time or one of them might eventually give in little. It will be very interesting to watch what happens next for Vinícius and how this affects what Real Madrid pays its players.
