The main reported issue behind the disagreement is believed to be Vinicius not agreeing with the overall pay that Real Madrid are willing to offer him. The 25-year-old star is currently earning around €17m per annum, which is the second-highest salary in the Los Blancos squad after Kylian Mbappe.

Talks over a new contract for Vinicius Junior at Real Madrid have been stalled for weeks, a source has told ESPN, with the Brazil international's representatives believing it wouldn't make sense to accept the club's latest offer.

Vinícius Júnior and Real Madrid are at odds over a new contract, with the Brazilian forward delaying signing a new deal. Despite Madrid offering a raise, Vinícius's agents are demanding more.
