Florentino delivers an ultimatum to Vinícius: if he doesn't renew, he's willing to go all the way

The firm decision Florentino Pérez has made if the situation with Vinicius Júnior can't be solved

Vinicius Júnior's contract renewal is causing many more problems than Real Madrid had desired. The Brazilian has made it clear that in order to sign his renewal, the club must pay him a salary higher than Kylian Mbappé's. These demands, according to what we know at Defensa Central, could lead to the sale of the Brazilian.

Florentino Pérez, faced with this growing situation, has seriously considered saying goodbye to the Brazilian winger. With his usual firmness, Florentino has made it clear that Vinicius must abandon his demands if he wants to keep his place at Real Madrid. Many legends before Vinicius tried to get a better salary and no one succeeded.

This shows that, even as an important player, no one is above Real Madrid. Even though Vinicius has a €1 billion ($1 billion) release clause, a good offer would be considered by Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has once again emerged as a possible destination for Vinicius.

Florentino Pérez's position

Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo were two players who, at the time, tried to get a better salary at Real Madrid. Despite all the achievements they earned with the club, Florentino Pérez never changed his position. The president has always cared about Real Madrid's well-being, even if that leads to the departure of players.

Vinicius Júnior, at 25 years old, finds himself in a situation similar to that of the Merengue legends. The Brazilian star believes he deserves a better salary than Mbappé's. This is a surprising demand given his inconsistent performance last season.

Kylian Mbappé currently earns €23 million ($23 million) net per season. Vinicius, with his current salary, earns a little less than half of what the Frenchman makes at the club. In addition to his inconsistent performance, Real Madrid will not accept Vinicius's demands since these would break the wage structure.

The ultimatum to Vinicius

Even though he is one of the best players in the world, Vinicius must be careful with his decision. Real Madrid, as it has shown in the past, has no problem letting its legends leave. While Saudi Arabia is willing to offer him a higher salary, playing there would not be a good decision on Vinicius's part.
