Vinicius stares at Mbappe. Will Real Madrid still try to keep him?

According to the well-known Spanish media Celle Radio, Florentino has agreed to give Vinicius an annual salary of 25 million euros, and the Brazilian star seems to be hesitating, which has caused dissatisfaction among Real Madrid's management.

Since the middle of last season, Real Madrid's contract renewal negotiations with Vinicius have been at a deadlock. Recently, Florentino personally came to resolve the conflict, and he raised his original annual salary of 20 million euros to 25 million euros. Vinicius's asking price is 30 million euros, and there is still a gap of 5 million euros between the two sides. The Brazilian team is not ready to make concessions.

Since missing the Golden Globes last year, Vinicius's form has continued to be sluggish, and the unsuccessful negotiations for renewal have also had a great impact on him. During the two times when Ancelotti led the team to the "double champion", Vinicius was the tactical core of Real Madrid. The Brazilian regarded himself as the "top brand" and required the same maximum salary as Mbappe (30 million euros), which seemed not an excessive requirement.

However, judging from Real Madrid's performance in the initial stages of the Club World Cup and La Liga, the problem of homogeneity of the front line has seriously affected the team's operation. Florentino treats signing and renewal negotiations from a business and business perspective, and throws the tactical difficulties to Alonso. If the negotiations between Vinicius's team and Real Madrid eventually break down, it may not be a bad thing for the young coach. Leaving Rodrigo and (using the cap space left by Vinicius) to introduce a midfielder may be the best choice.
