Earlier, the Daily Sports newspaper reported a message about Real Madrid. Real Madrid's renewal talks with Vinicius have reached an impasse, and the Brazilian teenager believes that he is one of the leading figures of Real Madrid and deserves a salary close to Mbappe. The current situation is not yet urgent, but if the two sides cannot get closer to reaching an agreement before the end of the season, then Vinicius' contract extension could become a problem.
Strictly speaking, Vinicius' contract will not be a problem for Real Madrid at this time, because there are still 2 years to expire. But why are such rumors at this time? There are two main reasons.
First of all, Vinicius' performance this season has been too impressive. So far, he has played 22 la Liga games and started 20 times, scoring 12 goals and assisting 5 times. He has started 30 times in 32 games in all competitions, scoring 15 goals and assisting 8 times. He has become the second striker behind Benzema. From the perspective of age, he is clearly the future of real Madrid's forward line. His outstanding performance has also skyrocketed his value, which is now as high as 100 million euros. In this position, he is undoubtedly the flagship figure of the younger generation.
But his salary is in the lowest bracket at Real Madrid, and his current annual salary is only 3.2 million euros. Previously, when talking about contract renewal, Real Madrid was willing to raise the salary by 3 times to 10 million euros. Logically, this salary is not low, and it is in the middle of the real madrid. Judging from the current salary situation in the Real Madrid team, the annual salary of 10 million is second only to Bale, Hazard, Modric and Kroos. And his strike partner Benzema also earns almost 10 million yuan a year. Therefore, Real Madrid can issue such a contract renewal, which is already quite important to him.
Therefore, if there are other factors that can affect Vinicius's renewal, it is only this reason mentioned by the Daily Sports. Mbappe joins Real Madrid and his subsequent salary will be as high as 30 million euros. Although Vinicius has already said that he does not care about salary when talking about contract renewal, this time and another time. Seeing the same young, future partner get 3 times the salary now, It is actually normal for Vinicius to have an idea. But is there a demand mentioned in the Daily Sports that rivals Mbappe?' Obviously a bit of an exaggeration.
Whether it is in terms of personal ability, influence, football status, honors and market value, Vinicius and Mbappe still have a clear gap. Moreover, Mbappe is a free agent. In order to keep him, Paris is willing to pay a much higher salary, which is 15 million higher according to media reports. But Mbappe still joined Real Madrid without regrets, and with this intention, he also deserves a generous contract from Real Madrid.
Therefore, the emergence of such rumors at this time does not rule out that the media in Barcelona deliberately disturbed the hearts and minds of the military. Even if Vinicius had wanted a higher contract, it would not have been possible to demand parity with Mbappe, which is clearly excessive.
