Overview
- Negotiations are at an impasse in early July with Real Madrid reportedly offering about €20 million net per season and Vinicius’s camp seeking roughly €30 million.
- Real’s board and president Florentino Pérez are said to be defending the club’s controlled wage structure and unwilling to place Vinicius at the very top of the pay scale.
- Because Vinicius’s current deal runs until summer 2027, the club has signalled it would consider a summer sale rather than allow him to leave for free next year.
- Multiple top European teams and Saudi clubs are monitoring the situation and intermediaries have held talks with Premier League sides, though no formal bid is public.
- Reports conflict on whether a compromise near €25 million is possible and a face‑to‑face meeting between Vinicius and Pérez has been reported as planned in the coming weeks.
