Giving credit to La Ser, Romano explained that Vinicius has turned down all the offers from Saudi Arabia to extend his contract at Real Madrid. Adding more insights to the details, Romano continued:

“No date has been fixed yet to get the new agreement signed, waiting on the final details to be sealed. Initial verbal agreement in place, length of the deal under discussion — 2029 with an option to extend or 2030. No formal steps yet.”

It is also being mentioned that his contract will have an option to extend. The new Vinicius Jr. Deal could make him equal to Mbappe’s current pay.

Vinicius Jr.’s current contract expires in June 2027 as per Capology. Receiving around £344,330 in base salary per week, the 24-year-old is currently the second highest-paid player on the team. With his extensions promising to match the Frenchman’s pay, Vinicius Jr. could also surpass him in the new extension.

The Brazilian winger has been Real Madrid’s main attacking threat ever since the departure of Karim Benzema. Taking over the responsibility, Vinicius Jr. has evolved a huge deal over the past few seasons. Moreover, after missing out on the Ballon d’Or (2024) on thin margins, Vinicius Jr. has proved himself on the biggest stages as well.

Should Real Madrid achieve the accomplishment of securing Vini’s future at the club, the attacking future of the club will almost be built. With all the players on long term deals and some new recruitments, the Los Blancos have a new Galacticos in forming next season.
