Sources close to the Brazilian player indicate that the club&#8217;s latest offer does not meet expectations.<\/p>\n<p>Vin\u00edcius, currently under contract until June 2027, earns around 17 million euros net per season, including bonuses.<\/p>\n<p>In May, the parties seemed to be getting closer, but negotiations have not progressed. The striker&#8217;s entourage was aiming for a fixed salary of 20 million euros per year, with variables that could raise the figure to 30 million.<\/p>\n<p>However, the club&#8217;s latest proposal stands at 20 million euros, excluding an additional 10 million in bonuses. The player&#8217;s representatives believe the increase is insufficient and does not justify an extension until 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Faced with this situation, Vin\u00edcius&#8217; agents, Fred Pena and Th\u00e1ssilo Soares, have decided to wait and assess the development of the 2025-26 season. They will closely monitor coach Xabi Alonso&#8217;s plans for the Brazilian before making a decision.<\/p>\n<p>Sources indicate that Alonso considered leaving Vin\u00edcius on the bench in the Club World Cup semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain in July. However, Trent Alexander-Arnold&#8217;s last-minute absence forced a change of plans.<\/p>\n<p>Federico Valverde was repositioned as a right-back, and Vin\u00edcius maintained his place in the starting eleven alongside Gonzalo Garc\u00eda and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid initiated conversations to renew the player&#8217;s contract in February, even though he still had two years left on his contract. This decision was made in light of the interest shown by the Saudi Pro League.<\/p>\n<p>However, Saudi interest has cooled. There has been no contact with the Saudis since December, and Vin\u00edcius&#8217; representatives have ruled out that possibility.<\/p>\n<p>There is concern in Vin\u00edcius&#8217;s environment about the Spanish media pressure and the impact that negotiations could have on public opinion about the player.<\/p>\n<p>Vin\u00edcius was the runner-up in the 2024 men&#8217;s Ballon d&#8217;Or ranking and won the FIFA The Best Men&#8217;s Player award that same year. However, he had an irregular season in 2024-25, scoring 11 goals in 30 LaLiga matches, and Real Madrid ended the campaign without winning any major titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stalemate in Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior&#8217;s contract negotiations with Real Madrid Conversations to renew Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior&#8217;s contract with Real Madrid have stalled for weeks.
