There is growing uncertainty over the future of Real Madrid winger, Vinicius Junior, after weeks of stalled contract negotiations.
According to ESPN, discussions between the club and the player’s representatives have reached a deadlock.
Vinicius’ Representatives Reject Madrid’s Offer
The 25-year-old Brazilian’s current contract runs until June 2027, with an annual net income of around €17 million, including bonuses.
His agents were pushing for a new deal worth €20 million fixed per season, with variables that could raise his total earnings to €30 million.
Madrid’s Proposal Falls Short
Real Madrid’s final proposal reportedly offered a fixed €20 million but excluded the additional €10 million bonuses demanded by the player’s camp.
This exclusion has created a major stumbling block in negotiations.
Contract Extension Still Pending
Vinicius’ representatives have declined to accept Madrid’s current proposal for a three-season extension that would keep him at the Bernabéu until 2030.
This has left his long-term future with the club hanging in the balance.
Possible Implications for Real Madrid
If the deadlock continues, Real Madrid may face increasing pressure from other European clubs interested in signing the winger.
Vinicius’ situation is now being closely monitored across the football world.
