Former player talks about Vinicius contract renewal: If you put pressure on Lafayette, it will be counterproductive, think about Ramos

August 4: Vinicius' contract renewal negotiations with Real Madrid still seem to be in a deadlock. Former Real Madrid player Alcorta affirmed Vinicius' ability on the show "El Larguero", but also warned him not to try to put pressure on Florentino on the issue of contract renewal.

■About Vinicius' personal abilities

Arcorta: "Vinitius is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world."

■At the same time, Alcorta also criticized Vinicius' performance fluctuations this season and warned him of "pressure" on renewal. Alcorta: "If you try to put pressure on Florentino, it may backfire. Think about the ending of Ramos that year."

■About Vinicius's decline in form last season

Arcorta: "I haven't seen him perform well since he was moved out of the left. He played with Mbappe for a price. They are young and ambitious, but those around him should give him better advice. Now is not the time to make high demands like he completed a great season. Last year The result is not ideal in order to allow him and Mbappe to coexist. "

■In addition to money, Vinicius should focus on his own growth

"If he focuses on top performance on the court, others will naturally follow. Real Madrid has always rewarded players who prove their value on the court."

■Alcorta also criticized the practice of negotiating contract renewals based on "salary comparison"

"This competition is toxic. Florentino is very affectionate, but he will never hesitate to make difficult decisions when needed. Vinicius needs to be calm. If he plays a good season, there will naturally be more bargaining chips."

At the same time, Real Madrid's position is still tough: it will not accept unreasonable demands, such as increasing Vinicius' salary to the same as Mbappe. According to internal news from Real Madrid, if Vinicius renewal negotiations have been slow, it is even possible to sell him.
