A report revealed that Vinicius Junior will demand a payment similar to his colleague Kylian Mbappe in the next round of contract renewal talks with Real Madrid.

As he pointed out likeVinicius would be more than happy to sign an extension, however Madrid He will have to make a significant financial investment in his services to get the deal done.
When Vinicius signed his last contract, he accepted a lower salary than the club's top earners, but he will demand equality with Mbappe when talks take place this time, confident that his importance to the team is at least equal to that of the Frenchman.
The main complication will be interest from Saudi Arabia, who have long viewed Vinicius as a potential signing. Al-Ahly was keen to sign the winger during the summer, but rejected Real Madrid's decision to obtain a release clause in his contract worth one billion euros in full.
It is claimed that Vinicius, although not entirely happy with the prospect of a move to Saudi Arabia, at least wanted to accept the offer, sparking fears within Madrid that they could find themselves in a bidding war to retain the 24-year-old.
However, it has been confirmed that Vinicius is happy in Madrid and wants to continue with Carlo Ancelotti's side, although only if he gets the wages he believes he has earned.
