Real Madrid sweetens Vinícius Jr deal with €24m offer
Vinícius Júnior is edging nearer to a new contract as Real Madrid have raised their proposal to €24 million net per season and aim to extend the Brazilian forward’s deal until 2031, according with sources in Spain. The improved terms mark a tangible step forward after weeks of tension over his renewal.
On Wednesday, representatives of the striker met with José Ángel Sánchez and Juni Calafat, senior officials of the Spanish club, in an effort to unblock negotiations that had been stalled by economic differences. The meeting was described as a crucial dialogue but did not produce a signed agreement.
Although no contract was signed, Real Madrid reportedly increased their offer to €24 million net per season, attaching a new deal that would run through 2031. The club now awaits a response from the player with a more optimistic outlook than previously.
The €24 million figure remains below the €30 million Vinícius initially sought, yet the Brazilian has reportedly lowered his demands. Both sides are exploring additional economic variables that could further narrow the gap between their positions.
Salary is not the sole issue under discussion; image‑rights have also been a point of contention. Currently, image rights are split equally between Vinícius and the club, but the forward is seeking a larger share, while a bonus linked to the contract extension is also on the table.

A recent tweet highlighted that Real Madrid are “closing in on a new deal for Vinícius Jr after positive talks yesterday,” noting that a verbal agreement is at the final stage and that José Mourinho is also urging the club to retain the player.
The scenario has shifted considerably from earlier weeks, with the distance between the parties now reduced and optimism growing, although no renewal has been confirmed yet. Real Madrid hopes to receive a definitive answer soon, as Vinícius’s current contract expires in June 2027.
Meanwhile, interest from an English club has surfaced, with the team presented a significant proposal for the Brazilian. In a previous phase, Madrid considered a possible exit if an offer close to €170 million materialised.
José Mourinho has been involved throughout the negotiations, acting as a mediator and emphasizing Vinícius’s importance to the squad. After the forward returned to Madrid, talks were re‑activated with a new formula that includes a substantial salary increase and the postponement of a bonus due in 2027.
The proposed extension would run until 2031, with the option to add an additional season, yet the final decision still rests with Vinícius. Real Madrid expects the Brazilian’s answer in the coming days, bringing the contract saga closer to resolution.
