End of the saga! Vinicius Junior to sign six-year contract extension with Real
Florentino Perez has won the most crucial negotiation battle of the year.
Details: According to Spanish journalist Pepe Alvarez, Vinicius Junior is set to sign a new six-year contract with Real Madrid. The agreement is the result of a decisive week of talks: after meeting with the player's representatives on Wednesday, both sides finally made progress, even though the Brazilian had recently rejected the club's offer of €22 million per year, demanding €30 million instead.
This extension definitively buries Arsenal’s transfer hopes: the London club had been keeping a close eye on the Brazilian, whose previous deal was set to expire in the summer of 2027, allowing him to negotiate freely with other clubs from January. According to Goal, Vinicius’s warm relationship with Jose Mourinho played a decisive role in his choice—he opted to stay in Madrid despite the club not quite meeting his original financial demands.
With his current salary of €17.5 million per year, Vinicius was only the second-highest earner at Real behind Kylian Mbappé (€31.25 million), but the new deal will significantly narrow that gap.
