This delay has raised concerns within the club, especially given his importance both on and off the pitch.Financial disagreementsAt the heart of the issue lies a disagreement over wages, as the Brazilian forward is reportedly seeking parity with Kylian Mbappe, who sits at the top of Real Madrid’s salary structure.

As such, that scenario now appears highly unlikely, as club president Florentino Perez is said to have taken personal control of the situation, viewing Vinicius’ renewal as a top priority.Internally, the Brazilian is seen as irreplaceable not just for his performances, but for his unique profile in the current transfer market. Real Madrid reportedly believe there is no comparable player available, which is another reason why they want to renew his deal.The club’s objective is to resolve the situation before the World Cup to avoid unnecessary distractions and uncertainty. From the player’s side, the situation remains somewhat unclear, as Vinicius has consistently expressed his desire to continue at Real Madrid, but there has been no urgency in putting pen to paper. This contrast between words and action is one of the key factors prolonging the negotiations.
