Real Madrid Gives Vinícius Final Contract Offer, Summer Exit Still Possible
By Shacabkafootball
Reports: Real Madrid put final contract offer to Vincius Júnior as the La Liga giants want to get Vincius Júnior’s contract sorted as soon as possible. Real Madrid wants to find a solution with the Brazilian before the transfer window slams shut this summer and hopes Vincius Júnior remains in their colors. The Brazilian attacking prospect has rapidly become one of Real’s most key players during recent seasons.
But talks to reach an extension for the 26-year-old have not yet been successful.
The sides have reported a standoff during negotiations regarding terms for the new contract and especially regarding salary requirements. According to rumors coming from Spain, Real Madrid has said they have no intentions to offer higher amounts to the player. They expect an answer from the player in the upcoming weeks. IfViniciusdoesn’t respond to this last offer, Real Madrid could offer to sell the attacker before this season closes its gates and lose any sort of risk around his future at the club, potentially signing as big a sum that can support the player leaving this summer in the transfer market.
Still, several teams from Saudi Pro League have kept on trailing the Real Madrid star, and he would be the perfect fit for record amounts of money given the clubs in Saudi Arabia seem willing to spend, without limit.
Yet, Real Madrid doesn’t seem ready to give up and hopes he will sign before they’re out of options and decide on other choices for attack management going forward.
Rafael Leão Demands €12M Salary as Turkish Move Stalls, Manchester United Not Interested
Leo’s Future Cloudy After Wage Demand
Report: Portuguese Forward Seeking €12m Per Year Salary This has to put doubt in AC Milan’s star forward. Report: Milan forward Rafael Leo asked for about 12 million euros in salaries every year in the talks of a potential transfer to the Turkish Super Lig. This information comes from The Sun report today.
The salary has reportedly created an obstacle in discussions and it has now put some potential suitors in re-evaluation.
Leo is a Portuguese international, who has pace, trickery, and the ability to play across the front-line and is thus regarded as one of the most gifted players going forward in Europe. Many European clubs would no doubt, still be interested in his services. Manchester United have been heavily linked to Leo, however; report state Manchester United is not interested to sign him as the club seems to be…”. They are reported to have other targets.
Turkish interest remains, however, with clubs there having to evaluate how much it will cost them to match the fee for the player and his salary demands.
It cannot be ruled out that there are several interested clubs in other European leagues to approach him before the window close. However for the moment it will remain quite unclear where the Portuguese is going after this and it would appear that unless someone matches the price they are seeking as a transfer then will most probably have to wait before a move materialises.

Infantino Ends World Cup Stake Sale Plan as UEFA Declares No Confidence
FIFA president Gianni Infantino appears to be abandoning plans to sell off a commercial interest in the World Cup following criticism from various soccer stakeholders. It comes after increased pressure from UEFA, who have expressed no confidence in Infantino’s leadership and the direction which they believe the competition is taking.
The proposed deal had been highly divisive amongst a number of stakeholders with both sides clearly in favor and against the proposal, with fans of the proposal claiming it opens massive financial doors for the sport. On the contrary the fans of the proposal seemed concerned about the amount of control of FIFA’s main competition will relinquish to outside stakeholders and the governance of the sport long-term.
UEFA’s expression of no confidence is an indicator of the widening gap between the two different confederations as on various occasions they appear to be at odds. This is merely added to the current row regarding the format and schedule of international football and the commercial interests relating to the game.
By abandoning the sale of a commercial stake, Infantino seems to have listened to the mounting criticism from within the organization as well as several senior football officials. It is believed that FIFA now aim to explore other options in which they will boost revenue without selling the commercial rights of the world cup.
These are very political times within world football as the growth of the sport is continuing to skyrocket, questions are also now to be asked whether FIFA and UEFA can repair their relationship before the next major international tournament takes place.
Even though the proposed plan has now been put on hold the discussions over governing of the sport and its many commercial interests are far from over.
