Until 2030... Vinicius is ready to sign his new contract
Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior is close to definitively securing his future at the Santiago Bernabéu, after reports emerged that he has reached an agreement to extend his contract until the summer of 2030, with an option for an additional season . According to the newspaper Sport, the atmosphere within the club has changed significantly recently, which has directly influenced Vinicius's stance on renewal. The report emphasized that Xabi Alonso's departure was the most significant turning point, describing it as the decision that "brought back Vinicius's smile and gave him new wings on the pitch ." It added that the relationship between the player and the management has clearly improved, both in terms of morale and on-field performance and conduct, which has accelerated negotiations that had stalled in recent months . Doubts had surrounded the Brazilian winger's future, particularly due to previous tensions regarding training methods, which slowed down the talks. However, with Álvaro Arbeloa taking over as manager, negotiations entered a more positive phase, and the two sides are now close to an agreement that seemed unattainable not long ago . Financially, reports indicated that Vinicius was seeking a salary closer to the team's wage cap, specifically that of Kylian Mbappé, while Real Madrid's management insisted on maintaining the established wage structure. Ultimately, a compromise was reached, keeping the base salary within the current framework while increasing returns through achievable performance bonuses, a deal accepted by the player's camp . If the contracts are officially signed, Real Madrid will secure the services of one of its key players beyond 2027, the expiration date of his current contract. This move reflects the renewed harmony between Vinicius and the club and confirms that the club's future project will continue to be built around one of its most important attacking pillars .
