The journalist closest to Florentino reveals the reason behind the K.O. on Vinicius

In the bomb of this summer transfer window, Vinícius Júnior's contract renewal with Real Madrid might not take place. According to journalist Tomás González-Martín, this is due to the player's financial demands. Vinícius Júnior requested a salary of 30 million euros to renew his contract with Real Madrid.

An exorbitant amount that Real Madrid, clearly, flatly rejected. According to what we know at Defensa Central, this rejection was made to keep the club's wage structure. Florentino Pérez has always been cautious when it comes to keeping Real Madrid's finances, from transfer expenses to salaries.

Due to Vinícius's demands for his renewal, Real Madrid has taken a firm stance. The player only has two options: renew his contract or leave next summer. Given the offers the club has received, Vinícius's departure wouldn't be difficult.

Florentino Pérez's ultimatum

Since 2018, Vinícius Júnior has focused on improving his level at Real Madrid more and more. Although his first years weren't easy, Vinícius eventually ended up unleashing his potential. Carlo Ancelotti was key in the confidence the Brazilian needed to establish himself as a Real Madrid star.

Despite all the successes he has achieved with the team, Vinícius's intentions are dangerous. A salary of 30 million euros ($32.6 million) per season is impossible for Real Madrid. However, this seems to matter little to the Brazilian winger.

Even knowing that his salary would endanger Real Madrid's finances, Vinícius hasn't changed his mind. This is why Florentino Pérez has made it clear through his stance that no one will be above Real Madrid.

The only alternatives for Vinícius Júnior

Saudi Arabia, despite past rejections, remains quite interested in signing Vinícius Júnior. The Brazilian, looking ahead to next summer, must carefully analyze his future. Stay with the team that has given him everything or turn his back and leave surrounded by controversy.
