Boos on the field + contract renewal on the field are stagnant: 25-year-old Vinicius is experiencing a critical period in his Real Madrid career!

Vinitius Junior is always the focus.

This flamenco youth training player joined Real Madrid for 45 million euros in mid-2018. The contract is currently valid until June 30, 2027. But the contract renewal has been on hold since he filed a raise with Real Madrid in February this year.

Real Madrid has no intention of making "extraordinary concessions" and is even willing to leave Vinicius's free contract after the expiration of its contract; in addition, negotiations between the two sides will not restart until the end of this season.

Vinitius: Negotiations for renewal have stalled since February

The negotiations between the two sides have made very little progress. Real Madrid has taken the initiative to contact Vinicius's team - whose agent is Frederick Pena, a well-known Brazilian football world, to understand the players' demands for renewal. At that time, Vinicius himself also hoped to determine the future whereabouts as soon as possible and proposed the expected salary amount. However, after this initial communication, there was no new progress between the two sides and the contract renewal was completely stagnant.

Vinitius demanded that the annual salary be increased to 20 million euros after tax, which is 5 million euros higher than the current salary. His existing contract was signed in 2022 and officially announced in October 2023 that the total after-tax amount of the contract is 75 million euros, and salary increases step by step: the initial annual salary is about 10 million euros, and will increase to about 18 million euros by the end of the contract (2027).

In addition, due to his award for "Fifa Best Men's Football Player", his annual salary was an additional 2 million euros under the relevant terms of the contract.

Vinitius clash with Real Oviedo fans

Despite making only 28 minutes in Real Madrid's big victory over Oviedo, the Brazilian player experienced a special episode at Stadium Carlos Taltierre (Oviedo home). During the warm-up phase before the start of the game, Oviedo fans booed and insulted Vinicius; and even more, some home fans brought beach balls to the court. In recent months, this behavior has gradually spread in Spanish football, and its meaning is to mock Vinicius for never winning the Golden Ball ("Beach Ball" implies that he "has no prizes").

But the story does not end there. After enduring the series of treatments, the 25-year-old winger made a substitute in the 18th minute of the second half, and he was still greeted by booing. Although he received a yellow card for "fake fall", he quickly responded with his performance: first assisted Mbappe to expand the score to 2-0, and then locked in a 3-0 victory with a wonderful shot.

Shortly after the celebration of the goal, Vinicius looked at a stand at the Carlos Taltiere Stadium, made a "2" gesture with his right hand, and cooperated with the downward-looking movements - this behavior was interpreted as a satirizing Oviedo's relegation prospect: You should know that this team returned to the Spanish League One after 24 years and is currently facing greater pressure to relegate.
