 Real Madrid President Florentino Perez Reportedly Frustrated With Vinicius Jr Over Contract Demands


Vinicius Junior’s future at Real Madrid is up in the air after contract talks hit a wall. The Brazilian winger is now in the final year of his deal.


Just 12 months ago, an extension looked like a done deal. Sources close to the club were confident it would be signed without drama.


Now, things have changed. According to Spanish outlet _Sport_, negotiations have stalled mainly because Vinicius is asking for a €15m signing bonus — something Real Madrid are refusing to pay.


The club also appears to be making a statement about its future plans. Madrid are close to signing RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande for a reported €120m. Both Diomande and Vinicius share the same agency, Roc Nation, which is expected in Madrid on Monday to finalize Diomande’s move. President Florentino Pérez even mentioned that fee during his election campaign.


While Diomande’s transfer is nearly complete, there’s still no agreement with Vinicius, 25, on a new contract. Reports describe this as part of a wider period of change at the Bernabeu.


The gap between Vinicius’ demands and what Madrid are offering is growing — and time is running out with just one year left on his current deal.
