Real Madrid is reportedly prepared to entertain a massive offer for Brazilian star Vinicius Junior, but only under one condition. While considered one of the world’s best, his future with the club is uncertain, especially after Kylian Mbappé’s arrival disrupted the team’s balance and contributed to a trophyless 2024/25 season.
The 25-year-old’s contract expires in 2027, and he’s yet to sign an extension. Recent reports suggest negotiations stalled because Vinicius demanded a salary matching Mbappé’s, a request Real Madrid refuses to meet. The club issued an ultimatum: improve performance to justify a significant raise.
However, Cadena Ser reports that Real Madrid would accept a €200 million offer from the Saudi Pro League if Vinicius fails to meet their expectations. This sale could then fund a move for a top player from Manchester City, potentially Erling Haaland. The report highlights the impasse, stating Vinicius wants to be the highest-paid player, halting contract renewal talks despite initial agreements based on performance-related bonuses.
Meanwhile, other clubs are circling. Liverpool reportedly offered €130 million for Vinicius as a replacement for Luis Diaz. The situation adds intrigue as Real Madrid navigate a summer of squad overhauls after a disappointing season and a recent 4-0 loss to PSG.
