Real Madrid’s management recently held a crucial meeting with representatives of Vinicius Junior in an effort to finalize a contract extension. The situation surrounding the Brazilian star had dragged on for too long, and both parties are now working to find common ground.
According to Cadena SER, Los Blancos have taken a significant step toward securing Vinicius’s long-term future by improving their latest contract offer. The revised proposal now satisfies both sides, greatly increasing the likelihood of reaching an agreement.
The source reveals that Real has raised its fixed net salary offer from €22 million to €24 million per season. Although this figure remains below the €28-30 million range Vinicius initially requested during negotiations, the Brazilian appears willing to accept the compromise.
With only one year left on Vinicius’s contract at the Spanish club, the management was eager to avoid a scenario where he would leave on a free transfer next summer. In fact, Real was prepared to approve the sale of the 26-year-old this summer if a new contract could not be agreed upon.
Behind the scenes, José Mourinho has also played a key role. The Portuguese coach personally assured Vinicius that he remains central to his plans and wants him to lead Real’s attack in the new project.
Mourinho, experienced in working with top talents, knows how to unlock the potential of players like Vinicius, Kylian Mbappé, and Jude Bellingham. It is crucial for him that his players are fully committed and spearhead his new project, which means Vinicius must sign a new contract.
If the agreement is finalized in the coming days, it will remove one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over Mourinho’s squad and allow the club to focus entirely on completing the remainder of the summer transfer window.
After several months of protracted negotiations, it seems this saga is nearing its conclusion: the 26-year-old winger is set to sign a new, improved long-term deal with Real Madrid.
