Real Madrid Rejects Vinicius Jr.'s Demand, Perez Confirms His Stay

26 December 2025at16:35

Speculation continues regarding the future of Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior, who has just 18 months remaining on his current contract with the Royal Club. Contract renewal negotiations have reportedly stalled due to the player's agent demanding a salary comparable to that of French star Kylian Mbappé.

Real Madrid management, for its part, is not planning to meet this significant financial demand, reaffirming its salary policy. However, club president Florentino Pérez stated, according to "Radio Marca," that he "under no circumstances" wants Vinicius Junior to leave the team.

Despite Pérez's declarations, reports have indicated that the player himself considered leaving the club after facing a hostile reception at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. Contract discussions are now expected to be postponed until next summer or after the conclusion of the World Cup.

This tension arises amid increasing pressure on Vinicius Junior due to a recent dip in his performance, in addition to past disagreements with coach Xabi Alonso, although their relationship appears to have improved recently.
