The Royal club have already identified Vinicius Junior’s replacement as deal discussions are currently on hold. Selecao star has 2 years left on his current contract and wants a higher salary in case he inks a new extension.
However, if Vini leaves the Spanish giants and continues his career in the Middle East, Real Madrid are interested in acquiring Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland.
Vinicius is ready to sign a new deal for 3 more years with Los Blancos, but he will not do it if the contract does not make him the highest-paid player in the club, as he demands a higher salary than Kylian Mbappe.
🚨 As of today, Vinicius Junior still wants to STAY at Real Madrid, but under one condition, he MUST have the best possible contract in the team.

Saudi Arabian teams have wanted the Brazilian and have done everything possible to sign him in the past 2 years. Their offer is still valid as they are willing to pay Vinicius 1 billion euros for a 5-year contract with a club from the Saudi Pro League. Because of that, the Selecao star feels confident and will try to secure a higher salary from his current team, because otherwise he could go to the Middle East and cash out on their offer.
