The king of the new version? Declined the Cubs request for a significant salary increase, and Real Madrid seriously considered buying Haaland

For Real Madrid, the main purpose of this season is to relieve the embarrassment of losing all four major players last season and help Mbappe win personal awards. However, in addition to the pressure of performance, the world's largest football club has many problems that they need to solve. For example, there are atmosphere issues within the team, Xabi Alonso's employment issues and star contract renewal issues. Among them, Vinicius's contract renewal is the most difficult hurdle.

Prior to this, Real Madrid and Vinicius were in a state of "incompatible" contract renewal. The top management was not satisfied with Vinicius's request for the same salary as Mbappe, and Vinicius's team stated that they would never lower their demands, which resulted in their talks ending without results (ESPN and TA confirmed). Although the two sides were given opportunities to step down and talk for two and a half hours, overall, there was indeed no progress. Both sides still maintain their own attitudes, which also makes it difficult for those in the middle to deal with it.

Especially Xavi Alonso currently doesn't know how to use Vinicius. According to his arrangements this season, he has also rotated the candidates in this position accordingly, especially Rodrigo who has many opportunities to play. This also makes the Brazilian winger a little worried. According to the news given by the Spanish daily sports, if Vinicius's contract extension continues to be deadlocked, Real Madrid may consider option B. Even if they let Vinicius leave without a visa, they will not increase their offer.

Vinicius's asking price is the same as Mbappe's salary. Compared with his current salary, if Real Madrid approves this price, then they will increase Vinicius's salary by 33%, and the value will be as high as 10 million euros. This is indeed a big financial pressure for Real Madrid. In addition, if they agree to Vinicius's asking price, then other players, such as Bellingham and Valverde, are likely to refer to Vinicius's request to negotiate contract extensions with Real Madrid, which will make the Bernabeu quite passive.

Therefore, they not only took into account the dignity of the wealthy family, but also maintained the stability of market development and commercial value. They declined Vinicius's request, which also led to a rift between the two parties.

However, the Bernabeu is the Bernabeu, and they are indeed tough enough. Even if Vinicius leaves the team next year, they will still not give up. In addition, according to the news given by many Spanish media and English reporters, if Vinicius really breaks down with Real Madrid, then the Bernabeu will immediately start signing Haaland, hoping to form a top striker combination of Mbappé and Haaland. Although this does sound magical, according to the Bernabeu strategy of accumulating superstars, it is also a good chance.

If Harland fails to win trophies under Guardiola, it will be difficult to return to his former dominance. He will indeed consider a transfer. His agency team is not a vegetarian, and has had "communications" with the Bernabeu many times.
