Real Madrid want to finalise Vinicius contract renewal within 10 days

Vinicius Junior's contract renewal talks have entered their final stretch, as Real Madrid are willing to put pen to paper on a new deal for their Brazilian star this week.

Although their intention is to officially announce the deal in July, when the players will return from holidays, the club want to strike a deal within the next 10 days.

The only aspect that remains to be agreed is the length of the new deal, with the current one ending in 2024. Real Madrid proposed extending it until 2028, but, as MARCA reported a month ago, Vinicius preferred a slightly shorter length, until 2026 or 2027.

Real Madrid are willing to raise his salary from the current 3.2 million euros, which could reach four million euros depending on bonuses, to 10m euros, which would raise should certain objectives be fulfilled.

His buyout clause will also skyrocket, from 350m euros to one billion euros. This is the amount set by Real Madrid for their big stars, designed to keep state-owned clubs away from their finest players.

In the case of Vinicius, it is symbolic, given that the former Flamengo forward has never even agreed to listen to offers from various suitors, even when he was at the receiving end of criticism in the past.

The Brazil international has made a significant investment by building a new house in Madrid, to which he moved in November 2021, being certain that he would not leave the Spanish capital.

Only three players played more minutes than Vinicius last season, with the Real Madrid star being his team's second-top scorer with 22 goals and 20 assist contributors, including penalties won.
