Vinicius Jr. Pushes for Better Terms in Ongoing Real Madrid Contract Talks
Vinicius Jr. isn’t just thinking about goals and assists—he’s thinking long-term.
The Brazilian star is currently in discussions with Real Madrid about improving the details of his contract, even though he’s already locked in until 2027. While no official offers have surfaced, whispers of interest from Saudi Arabia have surfaced during talks, adding a bit of pressure to the negotiations.
He’s one of the brightest talents in the Madrid squad and was reportedly close to sealing an extension not long ago. But there’s still a gap between what he wants and what the club is ready to offer. Reports suggest he’s looking to nearly double his salary—from under €17 million to around €30 million annually.
Madrid, still reeling from a tough season and a recent El Clásico loss, find themselves navigating tricky ground—not only in terms of results but also in managing expectations with top players like Vinicius.
Rumors previously hinted at a jaw-dropping five-year Saudi deal worth over £800 million, including an ambassador role tied to the 2034 World Cup. But sources now say there’s no firm offer on the table—just smart positioning from Vinicius’ camp, represented by Roc Nation Brazil.
While he’s had a dip in form, Vinicius remains a fan favorite and a vital part of Madrid’s future. There are even murmurs within the club suggesting that if a solid offer did come from abroad, some might support his departure—especially after tensions reportedly surfaced behind the scenes.
Still, Vinicius seems set on staying. With Xabi Alonso expected to take over managerial duties soon, the winger has voiced hope that a deal will come through.
“I’ve always said I want to be here for the long haul,” he shared earlier this year. “This club, the fans, and the people around me mean everything. Hopefully, we can sort things out soon.”
