Real Madrid have once again put a new contract offer to Vinícius Jr, but the new conditions are thought to be still short of the Brazilian’s demands. The 26-year-old is still one year away from the end of his current contract, which runs through June 2027, and a contract renewal has yet to be finalized.
Real Madrid Offer Vinícius €22 Million a Year
Real Madrid reportedly offered Vinícius a new contract worth approximately €22 million per season. The offer is an improvement on earlier ones made by the Spanish giants but figures are said to be still short of what the winger is looking for. It is believed that the figure that Vinícius was aiming at was around €30m per year, with a large renewal bonus thrown in.
Arsenal Continue to Monitor Situation
The contract impasse has caught the attention of Premier League giants Arsenal, who are reportedly willing to make a move if Real Madrid can’t come up with new terms for Vinícius. However, the Brazilian has openly stated his wish to stay at the Santiago Bernabéu, making it more and more crucial for the player and club.
Vinícius Wants to Stay at Real Madrid
However, despite the negotiations, Vinícius has made it clear on numerous occasions that he wishes to play in Madrid. The forward has been vocal about his association with the club and in the past, he had stated his wish to stay with Real Madrid for the long haul. While the financial details may still be an issue, a renewal remains a possibility, his comments indicated.
How Does Vinícius’ Offer Compare With Mbappé?
In the middle of the debate seems to be where would Vinícius fit in the Real Madrid pecking order in terms of their highest-paid squad. It would be an eye-opening amount, but reportedly not quite up to Kylian Mbappé, who is regarded as one of the club’s highest-paid stars.
Football pay can differ massively, depending on what’s gross or net salary or bonuses or other contractual payments are mentioned.
Contract Saga Reaches Crucial Stage
Real Madrid’s latest move may be a key development in the ongoing negotiations, but there are still some differences between what the club is offering and Vinícius’ expectations. Arsenal are very aware of the situation and the player’s current contract will expire in 2027, so the next few months will be crucial to see if he signs a new deal or if he is ready to look to move away from Madrid.
