However, things have completely changed since then and the relationship between Perez and Vinicius is strong and healthy.
Real Madrid, for their part, have been keen on signing the explosive attacker to a new contract, with negotiations currently underway.
The Spanish giants have indeed made an offer. It is now up to the two sides to negotiate and reach an agreement on more specific details.
Vinicius’ high wage demands have been an issue los blancos in the past. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be implemented as a result of improved relations between the two countries.
