The potential deal would need to meet both Real Madrid’s high valuation — reportedly north of €300 million — and Vinicius' salary demands. The winger aspires to become the highest-paid footballer in the world.

The sticking point in his relationship with Real Madrid is his salary. Vinicius' current contract runs until the summer of 2027. Although Real Madrid has offered an extension with a yearly salary of €15 million, the Brazilian believes he deserves more. While Vinicius is not eager to leave Madrid, his desire for a higher salary might ultimately outweigh his loyalty to the club.
