Vinicius Jr. is reportedly pushing for a significant salary increase, with the Brazilian winger aiming for an annual wage of €20 million (£16.5m), a 33% rise from his current salary of €15 million (£12.4m). This would make him earn 30% more than Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid.
Negotiations for a new contract are expected to resume in the summer, with Vinicius Jr.’s future at the club uncertain. While offers from the Saudi Pro League, reportedly worth €1 billion (£832.2m), have caught his attention, the player has expressed a strong desire to stay at Real Madrid.
Vinicius Jr.’s commitment to the club hinges on them meeting his salary demands. If an agreement is reached, he is likely to extend his stay, putting an end to speculation about his future. His current contract runs until 2027, and Real Madrid will be keen to secure his long-term future and ensure he remains a key player in their plans.
Since joining Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr. has been a standout performer, with 102 goals and 76 assists in 300 appearances. His contributions have played a crucial role in the club’s success, and retaining him will be important for the team’s future. As the summer window approaches, the outcome of these contract negotiations will be pivotal in determining whether Vinicius Jr. continues his career at the Santiago Bernabéu.
