Vinicius Junior scored again for Real Madrid, but off the pitch his situation is becoming increasingly tense. The Brazilian’s contract expires in 2027, and extension talks are not moving forward. The reason is simple: the winger’s financial expectations are much higher than the club’s proposal.
Vinicius Junior shines, but Real have a problem
Real Madrid drew with Betis 1-1 and practically lost their chance to win the Spanish championship. Barcelona is already very close to defending the title, and in Madrid, not only the results, but also the future of the biggest stars are attracting more and more attention.
One of them is Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian scored in Sevilla and improved his season achievements. In the current competition, he played in 49 matches, scored 19 goals and made 14 assists.
Why hasn’t Real extended the contract yet?
Vinicius’ current contract runs until 2027. This still gives the club time, but the situation needs to be resolved because the closer to the end of the contract, the greater the pressure on Real.
Negotiations do not bring a breakthrough. The winger expects a salary of EUR 30 million per year. This amount would make him the highest-paid player on the team.
Real’s offer is lower than the Brazilian’s expectations
Real does not want to meet the player’s demands in their current form. The club’s last offer was to be around EUR 20 million per season.
These are earnings similar to those that Kylian Mbappé can count on, but Vinicius rejected the offer. The difference between the parties is therefore significant and that is what stopped the talks.
The next round of negotiations will take place after the end of the season. Real’s priority remains clear: the club wants to keep the Brazilian and continue to build its attack with him.
For now, however, the case is not closed. Vinicius has a strong sporting position, Real knows his value, but an agreement will only be possible when both sides become financially closer.
