Vinicius is said to demand a salary as high as Mbappe's, Real Madrid postpones new negotiations, amid rumors that the Brazilian striker could leave Bernabeu to play football in Saudi Arabia.
According to El Chiringuito, after making Mbappe the highest paid player on the team, Real Madrid also decided to increase Vinicius' salary with a new contract offer.
However, the agent and Vinicius refused, because they thought they deserved more than the amount that the La Liga giants wanted, after their great contributions to the club.
It is unclear how much Real Madrid offered Vinicius a salary increase, but he is still behind Mbappe. And that is why he is not satisfied. Vinicius is said to want the same salary as Mbappe - 31.2 million euros/year, compared to the 25 million euros/year he is currently receiving.
The above source added that Real Madrid likely has no intention of meeting Mbappe's salary demands, so there are currently no new negotiations with Vinicius.
It is reported that Vinicius' future at the Bernabeu depends on his connection with Mbappe on the pitch. Real Madrid's leaders as well as coach Ancelotti hope that this duo will have a strong understanding and explode together on the pitch.
Vinicius' important role on the pitch for the Vultures is indisputable. But President Perez is said to be considering Vinicius because the striker's hot-temperedness and willingness to confront rival fans could affect Real Madrid.
Recently, there have been many rumors that Vinicius could leave Bernabeu to play football in Saudi Arabia with a super attractive offer waiting. According to El Cheringuito, the Saudi Super League will be the only destination for this striker, if he decides to leave Real Madrid, despite PSG also jumping into the race.
However, journalist Ekrem Konur said that Vinicius' representative is currently in negotiations with both Al-Hilal and the Ligue 1 champions.
While Mbappe's form has been increasingly outstanding with Real Madrid - 8 goals in the last 9 matches, Vinicius has declined recently. The Brazilian striker has failed to score in 8 of his last 10 appearances in all competitions and has not scored in La Liga since November last year.
At 3pm tonight, February 12, Real Madrid will play Man City at Etihad, first leg of the Champions League play-off.
