Vinicius has enjoyed massive success with the Spanish giants, scoring 106 goals and assisting 83 times in 322 games, and winning multiple trophies including two Champions League titles.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid, reportedly unimpressed with his timing and form fluctuations, has decided not to meet his demands.<\/p>\n
