This Is Vini's Demand to Renew with Real Madrid: Florentino Shocked

The continuity of Vinícius in Santiago Bernabéu locker room has become one of the most striking debates that Real Madrid currently has on the table. Besides the defense of the LaLiga leadership in the match against Osasuna this Saturday, February 15, there is the return leg of the Champions League round of 16.

But those two matches of utmost importance for the course of the current soccer season are being slightly overshadowed by the "Vinícius case". The conflicting reports over the past two weeks reflect very distant realities and confuse Madrid fans. One of the latest additions in this regard comes from Cadena SER, where they would have revealed the demands of the South American star.

According to the information handled by Toño García, journalist of "El Larguero", the environment of the verdeamarelo footballer would have contacted Real Madrid to convey their proposals. The merengue striker, to renew, would wish to earn "more than 25 million euros net annually per season". The amount, higher than most expected, would condition Real Madrid's future moves when dealing with his renewal.

Especially considering the thorough maintenance that the board led by Florentino Pérez has done in recent years of the entity's financial balance. Granting that salary to Vinícius would not only break the salary scale of Santiago Bernabéu locker room but also significantly increase the annual budget without prior notice in the merengue treasury.

More Complications

The net figures that Vinícius requests to extend his contract with Real Madrid beyond the summer of 2027, Toño García points out, are definitive. So much so that if they lower the amount to 20 million euros net per season, the footballer "won't renew. It has to be a high figure if they want him to renew", state the personal and professional environment of the South American striker.

Despite those added difficulties in recent times with these demands, Toño García indicates that the first conversations between Vinícius and Real Madrid are already underway. Everything "looked good," reveals the journalist of "El Larguero" following the first attempts by the white club to extend the continuity of its top star beyond 2027.

Those "more than 25 million euros net annually per season" that Vinícius would have demanded according to "El Larguero" open an important debate, but not only in the Valdebebas offices. Because the executives led by Florentino Pérez are clear that the departure of Vinícius, before the summer of 2027, will only become a reality through the payment of his release clause. During that time, the white leaders aspire to renew his contract and put an end to this thorny issue.

But the white board is also clear that they won't fight to ensure the continuity of the Brazilian star at any cost. As happened with other club legends, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos, Real Madrid is willing to let him go if he doesn't accept their last proposed offer. The goal would then be, from that precise moment, the search for his replacement in the elite European soccer transfer market.
