Real Madrid wants to reward Vinicius with another extension, but the player is in no hurry | Relief
With or without this award, Vinicius Junior is the winner of the Ballon d’Or for Real Madrid. Last season was decisive for winning the Champions League, proving that he is capable of leading a project over many years. For this reason, as Relevo learned, the club has already contacted the Brazilian’s agents with a proposal to begin negotiations on an extension.. A demonstration of affection and value on the part of the entity, as well as a way to scare away potential interested parties who come knocking on the door with million-dollar figures.
The first contacts took place several months ago. Vinicius’s year was worthy of improved conditions. Champion of the League and Champions League, best player of the continental tournament. Moreover, the board didn’t want him to feel like he was being relegated to the background with Mbappe’s arrival. On the contrary, he also needed to be treated as one of the leaders of the present and future. And at that time, everyone caught a glimpse of the Ballon d’Or, which Rodrigo unexpectedly won. With all these ingredients, the intention was conveyed to him to offer him a new contract.
At the moment the situation has not progressed. The Brazilian listened to the request and thanked him for his interest. However, the negotiations remained in the same summer format, and there is no need to rush into starting them.. The player has a good contract and is waiting for the best moment to meet with the club again and talk about improving the situation.
Your relationship will end in 2027.. Its latest renewal was announced early last year, but it has been closed for more than two years. In the summer of 2022, almost everything had already been agreed upon and signed, but it was made public only in October 2023.. This is the explanation for the strange situation in which Madrid extended his contract and called on him to do so again in the same season.
Saudi Arabia’s proposal still on the back burner
In the background is a million-dollar offer from Saudi Arabia that arrived in August. 1000 million over five seasons, making him the highest paid footballer in the world.. The Arab country wants to make him the visible face of its league and is ready to do everything to achieve this. They already came a few months ago, but are ready to repeat themselves in 2025.
The latest upgrade he signed with Madrid has taken him almost to the top of the salary scale. Only a couple of players on the current roster earn more. A resident of Rio de Janeiro and his family are very happy in Madrid. “I want to stay here forever and do a lot for this club that gave me everything.”– he said after scoring a hat-trick in the match against Borussia Dortmund. A love story that the club wants to preserve.
