Vinicius Junior to Hold Real Madrid Contract Meeting Within 2 Days
Madrid will not raise its latest €22 million offer as Vinícius Júnior seeks about €30 million and Arsenal monitors the stalled renewal talks.
On Wednesday, Real Madrid representatives are scheduled to meet with Vinicius Junior's team to resume stalled contract renewal negotiations, sources told ESPN.
Negotiations remain deadlocked as the club refuses to increase its offer of $25 million annually, while the Brazilian winger has reportedly held out for a deal closer to $34 million.
Vinicius currently earns $19.4 million, significantly less than top earner Kylian Mbappe, whose gross annual salary is $36 million, fueling the player's push for better compensation.
With his contract expiring in June 2027, sources indicate Real Madrid would expect a transfer fee of 150 million should negotiations fail, as Arsenal monitors the situation.
Despite the ongoing standoff, the 26-year-old has publicly expressed his desire to remain at the Bernabeu, where he has played since 2018, emphasizing his commitment to the club.
This week is set to be crucial for Vinicius Junior's future with Real Madrid, as arrangements are being made for a meeting between the player's representatives and the club to clarify matters...
The Brazilian will sit in the next few hours face-to-face with the club to unblock, on one side or the other, the negotiations. More information: Real Madrid confirms the transfers of Gonzalo and Palacios to Fulham de Arbeloa
