The newspaper “AS” reported that Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior’s representatives agreed to postpone the renewal negotiations until the end of the current season.
Vinicius’ current contract with Real Madrid ends in the summer of 2027, and the royal club saw no need to rush even if there were Saudi offers for the player.
The royal club has already started talks with Vinicius’ representatives, and in the initial meetings the club asked the player about the financial conditions he needs for the negotiations to be satisfactory.
Vinicius’ camp responded with what the player expects to stay with Madrid, which is for his annual salary to reach 20 million euros net.
The Brazilian international currently receives 15 million euros, which increased by 2 million euros after winning The Best award, and he does not want more than 5 million more to accept the renewal.
So far, no tangible progress has been made in the negotiations, and it was agreed to return to negotiations after the end of the season, with the hope of reaching an agreement during the summer. There is a common desire from both parties for Vinicius to remain in Madrid, which indicates that the solution will be smooth.
Real Madrid is making precise plans regarding its salary structure after next summer, with a focus on maintaining a balance of salaries without affecting the locker room on the one hand, and the club’s financial capabilities on the other.
Florentino Perez fears that his club will suffer the fate that befell Barcelona 5 years ago with the players’ salaries increasing exaggeratedly, so the trend is patience, especially since Jude Bellingham is also being negotiated with regarding renewal.
It is worth noting that Vinicius has stressed on every possible occasion that he wants to continue with Real Madrid and hopes to reach an agreement soon, stressing that this is his first and only desire at the moment.
