Vinicius Junior May Exit Real Madrid Over Contract Negotiations

Contract Stalemate

Vinicius Junior is reportedly considering a departure from Real Madrid unless his salary expectations are met, insisting on earning an amount comparable to that of Kylian Mbappe.

The 25-year-old winger has been engaged in discussions regarding a new contract at the Santiago Bernabeu for nearly a year, yet little progress has been achieved.

Strong Start to the Season

Vincius has kicked off the 2025-26 season impressively, netting two goals and assisting twice in his first five appearances in La Liga.

As reported by Diario AS, the Brazilian player is optimistic that his strong performance will lead to a lucrative new contract that aligns with the earnings of Mbappe.

Competition for Position

Mbappe currently holds the title of the highest-paid player at Real Madrid, and Vinicius is worried that the potential arrival of Xabi Alonso might jeopardize his position on the left wing.

It is believed that if the club does not address his financial demands, Vinicius will have to contemplate a move away from the team in the foreseeable future.
