Vinicius Jr. is evaluating a potential switch to Saudi Arabia for two seasons, but Real Madrid remains firm in its stance on wages.
The Brazilian winger, under contract until 2027, is pushing for a salary increase, but the club has no intention of adjusting its financial structure to accommodate his request.
According to Sport, Real Madrid is instead looking to extend his deal until 2029 while maintaining its strict salary policy. Club president Florentino Pérez is unwilling to disrupt the wage structure, even for one of the team’s most electrifying talents.
Vinicius reportedly believes he deserves a higher salary, citing Kylian Mbappé’s earnings as a benchmark. However, the French star’s additional income comes from a signing bonus rather than a higher base wage.
The Brazilian is now contemplating a short-term stint in Saudi Arabia before potentially returning to Madrid, but neither his club nor Saudi teams are keen on such an arrangement. The Saudi clubs prefer a long-term commitment, while Madrid is unwilling to sell unless a significant offer arrives. For now, Vinicius’ future remains uncertain as negotiations continue.
