Rumours claiming that Real Madrid's Brazil international forward Vinícius Júnior "has demanded to have higher wages than Kylian Mbappé" was refuted by Fabrizio Romano..

Sky Sports' renowned Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, released a video on YouTube on Saturday to refute the fake rumours which claimed that Real Madrid's Brazil international forward Vinícius Júnior "has demanded to have higher wages than Kylian Mbappé".

According to Romano, Vinícius has never demanded Real Madrid for giving him wages that will be higher than Kylian Mbappé, nor has he caused any problems for any party in the club. On the contrary, the relationship between the two sides has always been harmonious.

He revealed that this week alone, Vinícius' agent has had two meetings with Real Madrid President Florentino Perez. Both parties were very happy in the two negotiations. Details such as wages, bonuses, add-ons, and contract length in Vinícius' new contract will be further negotiated in subsequent meetings.

Romano also clarified that Vinícius had never "asked his agents to push Real Madrid to offer him a new contract with a substantial wage increase to a target annual wages of more than €25 million". He had already received a substantial wage increase from the club when he recently renewed his contract until 2027 with Los Blancos, but Real Madrid will never deliberately increase the wages of certain specific players in the team again for any other reasons to destroy the wage structure and squad harmony between the players.

Realizing that Saudi Pro League giants wanted to sign Vinícius to any of the four big clubs in the league owned by the Saudi Private Investment Fund (PIF), Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ahli or Al-Ittihad, with a long-term five-year deal, which includes a huge wages of nearly €1 billion, and let him replace former Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar as one of the new Saudi Pro League ambassadors, Real Madrid had decided to complete contract extension with Vinícius as soon as possible to protect one of the club's most important assets.

The La Liga league leaders will continue to find a balance that satisfies both sides. Vinícius has not and will not insist on asking the club to offer him an annual wages of at least €20 million to destroy the good atmosphere in the Los Blancos squad.

Similarly, the above situation also applies to his teammate Rodrygo.

Although this rumour was reposted to our website by a certain writer yesterday, where it was stated that the source of the news was the Spanish radio station Cadena SER, but upon verification, the above rumour did not come from the radio station at all, instead it was from the regular representative of our website's "Daily Slap in the Face Party", a content farm article writer on Sohu.

Later, two other platforms, NetEase and Leisu Sports, even claimed that this rumour was came from Spanish online media outlet Relevo's resident renowned Italian transfer journalist Matteo Moretto or the Americanmedia outlet ESPN, forcing Moretto himself to urgently shared the video of Romano through his personal official X (Twitter) account to refute the rumour after it was released on YouTube.

In general, this is another illegal method used by a certain content farm writer who heard some information about Vinícius Júnior from somewhere and then deliberately exaggerated and distorted it in order to clickbait.
