The 5 Players Who Pushed for Renewal and Ended Up Out of Real Madrid

Vinícius Junior and the Attempt from Saudi Arabia Seems to Be a Soap Opera That Has Just Begun. The Brazilian Is Seeking a Contract Improvement and Therefore, to Earn More Money at Real Madrid.

He Is Within His Rights and It Is True That He Has Earned It. But the Standoffs with Real Madrid, or Rather, with Florentino Pérez, Have Never Turned Out as the Footballers Expected.

The First to Know Was Makelele, the First to Learn How Florentino Pérez Acts. Always for the Good of Real Madrid and the Institution. The French Player of Real Madrid Was the Cog That Made the White Team Work.

But His Ultimatum of Wanting to Renew by Earning More Money and After Refusing to Attend Training, He Left. Florentino Transferred Him to Chelsea for 20 Million Euros. Since, According to the President, "He Wanted to Earn Half of What Zidane Earns and That Is Impossible," He Concluded.

The Next to Experience the Strength of the Real Madrid President Was Mesut Özil. Who Was Advised in the Worst Way by His Entourage and Especially by His Father (Also His Agent). The German Pressured the Club and Also Asked for More Money.

Finally, Faced with Florentino's Refusal, He Went to Arsenal for About 50 Million Euros."My Father Is Not Perfect and the Negotiations Were Too Much for Him."

"It Wasn't Greed, We Asked for What We Considered Fair and We Didn't Get It. Being Stubborn with Florentino Is Not the Best," Mesut Admitted.

Ángel Di María, Another Great Footballer Who Passed Through Real Madrid. He Was One of Those Players Who Insisted on Asking the Club for a Salary Increase in His Contract and Ultimately, It Didn't Work Out. He Left for Manchester United for Just Over 80 Million Euros.

"After Winning the Tenth, I Went to the World Cup Hoping to Receive a Gesture from the Board, Something That Never Came. Unfortunately, I'm Not to the Footballing Taste of Some Person. All I Asked for Was Something Fair," Said the Argentine Player.

Cristiano, Ramos and the Standoffs with Florentino Pérez

The Most Impactful Perhaps Was Cristiano Ronaldo's. Who, After Winning His Fifth Champions League, Fourth with Real Madrid in Kiev, Left His Future in the Air, Hinting That He Was Going to Leave.

He Expected a Gesture from the Club, Asked Florentino for More Money, and the President Waited for an Offer for Him. In This Case, It Was from Juventus, for 100 Million Euros.

"Florentino Accepted My Departure, Although He Didn't Negotiate Well. Then He Wanted to Backtrack, but I Had Already Given My Word to Juventus."

Cristiano Said in the Interview with Edu Aguirre on La Sexta.

The Last of This Long Saga Was Sergio Ramos, Who Had to Leave for PSG. After Having Several Standoffs with Florentino and Telling Him to Plan the Season Without Counting on Him. When He Wanted to Backtrack, the Club Informed Him That the Offer Had Expired.

"The Club Made Me a One-Year Offer with a Salary Reduction. I Only Asked for Two Years. The Issue Wasn't About Money."

"At This Point, I Accept the Offer with a Reduction and the Club Tells Me There Is No Longer an Offer. They Tell Me the Offer Has an Expiration Date and I Wasn't Aware."

All These Players, Some of Them, Legends of Real Madrid, Came Out Badly When Trying to Challenge Florentino Pérez Over Money. Therefore, Vinícius Must Be Careful and Play His Cards Very Well. This Is to Avoid Being a Footballer Who Adds to the List of Players Who Left Through the Back Door.
