It is worth noting that before the match in Manchester, there were many questions surrounding the Brazilian’s mentality, especially after he lost out on the 2024 Ballon d’Or to City’s Rodri. The Spaniard, by the way, watched the match from the bench as he continues his recovery from injury.

Not long ago, The Athletic revealed that Vinicius rejected the first contract extension offer from Real Madrid. This information has made Madridistas worried because his current contract expires in 2027, meaning that there are less than two years left before Los Blancos have to make a decision on the future of their number one star.

According to Tavolieri, Vinicius’ team proactively contacted PSG to explore the possibility of a transfer. Meanwhile, the French giants are also waiting for the right time, ready to take action if Real Madrid do not meet the player’s financial requirements.

The key point in the negotiation between Real Madrid and Vinicius is the salary. Currently, the Brazilian striker receives 15 million euros per season after tax, not including additional bonuses, such as the bonus for winning the FIFA The Best title.
