Cadena COPE reported that Real Madrid has temporarily suspended discussions on signing a new contract with Vinicius, as the current agreement between the two parties will expire in the summer of 2027.

A few days ago, according to Diario AS, the two sides reached a verbal agreement to extend until 2030, making Vinicius the highest-paid player at Bernabeu - 20 million euros after tax, surpassing the 'blockbuster' Kylian Mbappe who arrived last summer.

However, the Brazilian striker's representative confirmed that no contract extension agreement has taken place.

Meanwhile, journalist Josep Pedrerol, who has a good relationship with President Florentino Perez, revealed on the latest El Chiringuito program that all the negotiation problems lie in financial issues!

Specifically, with the interest from the Saudi Pro League and willingness to pay a lot of money, as well as some other European 'big guys', Vinicius said that once he stays, Real Madrid must pay him properly. And this player's side has demanded the highest salary in the team - 20 million euros/season after tax, far exceeding Kylian Mbappe's net salary of 15 million euros/season.

That is something that 'boss' Perez does not accept, because Real Madrid has made it very clear: Mbappe is number 1 both commercially and on the field and no one can break the club's salary budget.

Not to mention, this President is also increasingly fed up with Vinicius' attitude - often causing noise off the field, inconsistent performance no longer maintaining the sublimation like last season. This striker also disappointed at the recently concluded FIFA Club World Cup 2025.

Sources say Real Madrid will not give in, if Vinicius really wants to stay, show goodwill. In addition, Perez has also given Xabi Alonso full authority to decide the squad, only selecting and keeping those who are fully committed to the club.
