Vinícius Júnior, the Brazilian star of Real Madrid, has decided to pause contract renewal negotiations with the club until the end of the 2025/26 season. This decision comes after previous talks failed to reach an agreement regarding salary and financial terms.
📝 Current Situation
Currently, Vinícius has a contract with Real Madrid until June 2027, with an annual salary of around €17 million, including bonuses. However, renewal talks have stalled due to differences over wages. Vinícius’ representatives are requesting a fixed salary of €20 million per year, plus bonuses that could bring the total income to €30 million annually. Meanwhile, Real Madrid has only offered a fixed salary of €20 million without including bonuses, which does not meet the player’s demands
🔄 Decision to Pause Negotiations
Both Vinícius and Real Madrid have agreed to temporarily halt contract renewal talks until the end of the 2025/26 season. This decision aims to avoid affecting the player’s performance and allow him to focus on the team’s objectives for the current season
🔮 Future Outlook
If a renewal agreement is not reached, Real Madrid could risk losing Vinícius without receiving any transfer fee when his contract expires in 2027. However, at present, neither party has made a final decision, and the situation will continue to be monitored.
Meanwhile, Vinícius remains focused on playing and contributing to Real Madrid, hoping to achieve further success with the team.
