MARCA's boss confirms the mess with Vinícius's contract renewal, Mbappé involved

Real Madrid's players are still on vacation after a season that ended with a defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup. However, that doesn't mean there's no activity in the club's offices. In fact, Vinícius's contract renewal is one of the topics that's being most considered in recent days.

For now, nothing else is known about the Brazilian footballer's contract renewal at Real Madrid. Vinícius wants to earn as much as Kylian Mbappé and his dream is to keep playing at the Madrid club, but Florentino's idea is different. The president has already made it very clear to him that, for now, he won't earn as much as the French forward.

It seemed there was an agreement between Vinícius and Real Madrid

Vinícius has also shown that he isn't in any hurry to extend his commitment to the club, which lasts until 2027. "I have a contract and my dream is to be at Real Madrid for many years", he stated at the Club World Cup. Now the footballer will have to rest and recharge to try to recover his best form with Xabi Alonso.

In the past, Vinícius received a very tempting offer from Saudi Arabia, which made him consider his future. However, the Brazilian didn't accept the offer and that verbal agreement that was discussed was considered to mean he would stay for many more years at Real Madrid. However, the renewal is on hold, and many believe the player might not extend his contract.

Carlos Carpio's information about Vinícius's contract renewal

Meanwhile, Carlos Carpio, one of the most authoritative voices at the newspaper "MARCA", spoke with Rubén Martín about Vinícius's contract renewal.

"There's not so much talk about Vinícius and it's an issue that at Real Madrid they have quite pending. They need to solve Vinícius's contract renewal this summer. A renewal that we were told was done and two months ago, I was told it wasn't, that there were differences", he commented.

"I've asked if there have been any advances on this and they're very evasive, they don't want to talk. Vinícius has two years left and if they don't renew him this year, next year Vinícius will be the one with the advantage. There's a lot of talk about Rodrygo, but Vinícius's contract renewal is a topic for this summer", Carlos Carpio explained.

"Vinícius has had a very bad year. They understand that he lost focus after the Ballon d'Or situation, but they don't understand why he's still like this seven months later. Xabi Alonso has arrived, he's played the Club World Cup and Vinícius's involvement hasn't fully convinced Xabi", he added.

In addition, Carlos Carpio also made Real Madrid's position regarding Vinícius and Mbappé clear. The Brazilian wants to earn as much as his teammate, but the club isn't willing. For now, there are still "differences" between both parties in the negotiation.
