Vinícius Júnior has decided to remain at Real Madrid, ending weeks of speculation surrounding his future with the Spanish giants.
The Brazilian forward, whose dazzling performances have made him a cornerstone of Madrid’s attack, has agreed to a long-term contract extension that solidifies his place at the heart of the club’s project.
According to reports from AS, the official announcement of his renewal will come after the conclusion of the Club World Cup, as the player remains fully focused on the global tournament.
The terms of the new deal reflect Vinícius’s elevated status at the club.
The five-year contract is reportedly worth €100 million in total, with performance-based bonuses tied to personal achievements such as the Ballon d’Or and FIFA The Best awards.
These incentives underline the club’s belief in his potential to reach the pinnacle of world football.
This extension will see Vinícius become the highest-paid player in the squad, surpassing even recent high-profile arrival Kylian Mbappé, whose annual salary is understood to be €15 million, excluding a substantial signing bonus.
The figures attached to the new contract are a clear statement from Real Madrid, both in terms of their valuation of Vinícius and their intent to build the team around him for years to come.
Vinícius has grown into a central figure at the Santiago Bernabéu since arriving from Flamengo in 2018.
His explosive pace, technical flair, and crucial goals have not only won matches but also the hearts of Madridistas around the world.
In recent seasons, he has become increasingly influential in decisive fixtures and has established himself as one of the most feared attackers in European football.
Real Madrid’s decision to reward him with such a significant contract signals a long-term vision built around youth, ambition, and consistency at the highest level.
For Vinícius, the extension is more than a financial upgrade—it is a declaration of loyalty to a club where he has matured into a global star.
As the Brazilian prepares for the Club World Cup, he does so with clarity about his future and the backing of a club that sees him not just as a player, but as a symbol of its next great era.
