The end of a very long soap? If we believe the latest information of everyday life ASthe answer is yes. According to the Spanish media, Vinícius Júnior will indeed extend his contract with Real Madrid. Currently linked to the Merengues until June 2027, the Brazilian international (39 selections, 6 goals) should, in fact, initiate a new lease until June 2030. A relatively short contract but explained by the strategy of his agent, Frederico Pena, wishing to leave his protégé the biggest room for maneuver on his career.
One thing is certain, this announcement – which could definitely be formalized at the end of the championship and just before the Club World Cup – is excellent news for the Merengues, assured of keeping one of the most coveted elements on the football planet. In recent months, Saudi Arabia had not hesitated to operate an impressive forcing to try to convince the native of São Gonçalo to leave Madrid. Finally, the number 7 Madrid will not give in (for the moment) to the Saudi sirens, preferring to bet on the purely sporting aspect.

A renewal which will however allow the Auriverde winger to considerably increase its emoluments. Indeed, according to ASVinícius Júnior should now receive almost 20 million nets per year (100 million euros net over five years).

Consequently, this increase will allow him to become the best paid player of the team … in front of a certain Kylian Mbappé.
A few hours after the arrival of the Bondynois from Paris Saint -Germain, the current 2nd of Liga – who is about to challenge FC Barcelona in a decisive shock for the title race – had indeed indicated that his new number 7 would receive 15 million euros net per season. An amount, however, not including the succulent premium at the signature perceived by the former Parisian and which can, today, be considered as a hidden salary distributed on his five -year contract. It remains to observe how Kylian Mbappé will host the XXL revaluation of his teammate and if this will not cause some frustrations within the Merengue locker room…
