Real Madrid are on the verge of securing a contract extension for Vinicius Junior that will make him the club’s highest-paid player, according to Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda.
Speaking on El Chiringuito, Inda revealed that negotiations between the club and the Brazilian forward’s representatives have advanced significantly.
The new deal would extend Vinícius’s stay at the Santiago Bernabéu until 2030, adding three more years to his current contract, which runs through 2027.
Vinícius, who is of Cameroonian descent, has emerged as a cornerstone of Real Madrid’s attack in recent seasons, and the club is determined to retain him amid interest from other markets.
According to reports, the 24-year-old and his agents have held preliminary discussions with officials from the Saudi Pro League regarding a potential move.
However, Madrid’s latest proposal appears to have convinced the player to commit his long-term future to the club.
“They tell me that Vinicius Jr is very close to renewing with Real Madrid. The player has a contract until 2027 and would be extended for three more years, until 2030.
“He would stay until 30 years old at Real Madrid. They are negotiating and close to reaching an agreement.
“They tell me that he is close to renewing. It may be announced when the season is over. The renewal would imply that he would earn more base salary than (Kylian) Mbappé and (Jude) Bellingham. Mbappé has the benefit of his signing bonus.”
