Vinicius Jr. has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, with clubs pushing to sign him in the summer. The winger, whose contract runs until 2027, has made it clear that he wants to stay at Real Madrid but is asking for a pay rise.
According to SPORT, Real Madrid have no plans to increase his salary. The club want to extend his contract until 2029 but are sticking to their wage policy. Florentino Perez does not want to disrupt the club’s financial balance by making an exception.
Vinicius believes he deserves a higher wage because Kylian Mbappe earns more. However, Mbappe’s extra earnings come from a signing bonus, not a higher salary.
The report claims Vinicius is considering a two-year deal in Saudi Arabia before returning to Real Madrid. However, this idea does not appeal to the club or Saudi teams, as they want a long-term signing. Madrid will not sell unless a significant offer arrives.
