According to Marca, Real Madrid has informed Vinicius's team that the latest contract extension offer is the club's final proposal: "Either accept it or reject it. "

Marca states that after months of negotiations with no progress and neither side making concessions, Real Madrid has decided to act. At Valdebebas, the club believes it's time to end the uncertainty surrounding Vinicius's future. Recent interest from Arsenal in signing the Brazilian player has further reinforced Real Madrid's view: this situation cannot drag on indefinitely.

According to Marca, Real Madrid has communicated to those close to the player that the club's latest offer is the final one. There will be no further salary increases, nor another round of negotiations. Real Madrid's position is clear: if Vinicius accepts, he renews. If he doesn't accept, Real Madrid will open the door to selling him this summer, with the aim of preventing the Brazilian player from entering the final year of his contract and leaving on a free transfer thereafter.

Internally, Real Madrid still considers Vinicius a key player, and the club's primary goal remains to renew his contract. Real Madrid understands that Vinicius's performance over the years deserves significant financial recognition. However, the club also has very clear red lines: it cannot break the dressing room's salary structure. No matter how crucial a player is, Real Madrid is unwilling to change the team's salary hierarchy for anyone.

If the winger ultimately does not accept leaving, the sporting situation has also changed. Diomande is about to arrive, and he has the ability to play on both wings, which will provide Mourinho with a top alternative and reduce the team's reliance on Vinicius. In this context, if the contract dispute continues to be deadlocked, Vinicius as a substitute is no longer a distant hypothesis but could become a reality.
