Real Madrid’s Brazilian winger, Vinicius Junior, is going through a tough time after losing the Ballon d’Or, an award that was closer than ever to the Brazilian player, but things don’t always go as planned. Manchester City star, Spanish midfielder Rodri, won the award last Monday in one of the most controversial Ballon d’Or ceremonies in history.

According to information from the Spanish network Relevo, Vinicius Junior has rejected the idea of renewing his contract with Real Madrid’s management at the present time and prefers to wait for a better opportunity. The Spanish network reported that Vinicius missed the chance to extend his contract for a longer period with Real Madrid, noting that the current contract between the two parties runs until June 2027.

The Royal Club contacted Vinicius’ agents to discuss renewing his contract, especially after the player received an offer worth one billion euros from the Saudi League last summer. Vinicius thanked Real Madrid for its interest in renewing the contract and listened to the offer but did not agree to anything at this time. According to the network, the player is waiting for the best possible moment to reopen talks with Florentino Perez and his team.

Real Madrid was keen to treat Vinicius as a star of the team, even after the arrival of Frenchman Kylian Mbappe at the Bernabeu. However, the player received a big shock after being denied the Ballon d’Or, which went to the Spaniard Rodri.
