🚨 Pablo Sanchez (Levante president): "Real Madrid contacted us for Carlos Espi IN JUNE!
We were in talks with them for the whole month of June, it just didn't leak in the media."
🚨💣 BREAKING: Vini Jr's image rights will now be VERY IMPORTANT in contract renewal talks with Real Madrid.
Kylian Mbappé has almost 100% of his own image rights.
VINI JR WANTS THE SAME THING! @diarioas
🚨 Viní Jr. had the longest break of any Real Madrid player, with 4 weeks off.
The club made this decision as he had played the most minutes of ANY Real Madrid player.
He played 4,249 minutes out of a possible 5,040 (84%). He played in 53/56 matches, starting 48. @diarioas
🚨💣 BREAKING: Real Madrid offered Vini Jr. a NEW CONTRACT after Brazil’s World Cup elimination, but it’s still BELOW what the player wants.
Vini Jr. and Real Madrid have been in talks for a renewal for 2 YEARS, and they were NEVER close to an agreement.
Vini Jr. receives around €18.5 MILLION annually, while Florentino Pérez is offering €20 MILLION as a MAXIMUM, but this is NOT the problem.
The main problem is the SIGNING BONUS. Real Madrid believe that a signing bonus for a player who’s already at Real Madrid should be LOWER than what you would offer to a free agent, like they did with Kylian Mbappé.
Vini and his camp’s argument is that the signing bonus he’s asking for is CONSIDERABLY lower than what Real Madrid would pay to sign a new player as a replacement.
Both sides remain FIRM and the trend is towards a BACK AND FORTH until the transfer window ENDS.
Vini Jr. is in NO HURRY and has time on his side, because he’d sign with whoever he wants in January as a FREE-AGENT and because there is a SIGNIFICANT portion of the signing bonus from his last contract that will be paid in JANUARY. @cahemota 🇧🇷
🚨💣 Real Madrid have now decided it's TIME to END the Vini Jr renewal saga.
After months of stalled negotiations, the club has told Vini: "TAKE THE OFFER THAT'S ON THE TABLE OR LEAVE IT."
There will be no new round of negotiations, and no new offers.
If he accepts the offer, he renews.
If he rejects the offer, the club will open the door to a SALE now in order to stop him from leaving for free in 2027. @marca
