Negotiations between and Vinicius Junior for a contract extension are in limbo, according to ESPN Brazil.
The player's side believes that the financial terms proposed by the club do not meet expectations. The winger's current contract runs until the summer of 2027. His annual income, including bonuses, is around 17 million euros. The player's representatives were hoping for an increase to 20 million with the possibility of earning up to 30 million through bonuses, but the terms offered by Real Madrid do not include this.
Vinicius's agents feel that the raise is insufficient for extending the contract for another three seasons. Their current strategy is to wait until the end of the 2025/26 campaign and evaluate the player's role in Xabi Alonso's plans.
