According to AS journalist José Félix Díaz, Real Madrid will discuss a contract extension with Vinícius Junior after the World Cup, with salary remaining the primary sticking point.
Vinícius stated at the beginning of the World Cup that he would hold talks with Real Madrid after the tournament to resolve uncertainty surrounding his future. He currently has one year remaining on his contract with the club, which ensures he stays with the team for at least that period.
The club's management remains optimistic about his long-term prospects. During the campaign, Florentino Pérez made his desire for Vinícius to remain at Real Madrid indefinitely clear, and privately reiterated this position in the months prior.
For months, the deal appeared close to completion before ultimately collapsing, leaving Vinícius in an uncomfortable position. Regardless, he remains a key player for the team.
Vinícius has consistently expressed his affection for Real Madrid and his desire to continue wearing the white jersey. His words and actions have demonstrated this loyalty, though Real Madrid has yet to issue an official statement regarding the contract extension.
The primary obstacle between the two parties appears to be Vinícius's salary demands. Florentino denied this during the campaign, and at one point there were even rumors that Real Madrid would not oppose him leaving if he declined to renew.
However, his situation differs from other veteran players who faced similar dilemmas over the past decade. At nearly 26 years old, Vinícius is entering his prime years. Additionally, his commercial value is substantial—he has partnerships with nearly 20 brands, agreements that directly impact Real Madrid's finances.
The situation will progress further after the World Cup. If negotiations stall, Real Madrid will begin exploring alternatives. Talks at the Valdebébas training ground are aimed at securing the renewal, though any offer has a deadline.
The question now is how Real Madrid's efforts to strengthen its squad will ultimately conclude. The player's intentions appear clear. Management has made repeated renewal offers without receiving a response. The outcome remains to be seen.
