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.

Contract talks between Vinícius Júnior and Real Madrid have reportedly hit a standstill after the club refused to meet the winger’s salary demands. Although Vinícius Júnior still has two years left on his contract with Real Madrid, the superstar winger has been in negotiations with the club over a new deal since February.

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.
