Despite negotiations between Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid lasting several months, an agreement has yet to be reached. The club is growing frustrated with the player's wage demands, which are reportedly higher than what the club is willing to offer.
There have been rumors of interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, who may be able to afford Vinicius Jr's wage demands. However, the player has so far resisted offers from these clubs.
One player who could benefit from the situation is Rodrygo, a Brazilian teammate of Vinicius Jr. Rodrygo had been expected to leave Real Madrid this summer, but the stand-off between the club and Vinicius Jr may give him a chance to stay.
According to reports, Xabi Alonso, a former Real Madrid player and current coach, is opposed to selling Rodrygo if Vinicius Jr fails to reach an agreement with the club.
