Vini's contract expires in two years, and Madrid is reportedly continuing discussions with Vini, but no agreement has been reached yet. It is said that this is because Vini is seeking a pay raise, and Madrid is reluctant to meet his demands. It is said that Vinicius is demanding a salary of 25 million euros, but Madrid is only willing to offer 20 million euros. In my opinion, given the current situation where he was unable to contribute maximally last season, a high salary increase request is certainly unreasonable. It seems he doesn't want to be outdone by Mbappe. What do you think?
When a contract of a star player comes to last 2 years, it's most sensitive time as the player knows his value and important role in the club so he will try to bargain for as best new contract as possible from salary to new contract length. Vinicius is doing like this especially Mbappe came last season and was given very good salary. Real Madrid with Florentino Perez has not satisfied star player requests in many years and I believe that they will not change this strategy with Vinicius.
Vini did not perform consistently last season, mainly due to injuries and fluctuations in form. Therefore, it may not seem justifiable for Vini to ask for a significant salary increase right after a season that was not at its peak in terms of performance.
He still played well but got injuries last season and it's quite unfair to want him playing too excellently when Real Madrid were in big troubles last season. Many star players in Real Madrid underperformed last season and together they contributed to bad season endings at the club. Jude Bellingham, Mbappe, Valverde, Rodrygo as attacking players and other players in midfield and defense areas underperformed too and they were all responsible for the club bad endings in La Liga and Champions League.
