Vinícius Jr.'s Contract Talks: Real Madrid's Star Faces Contract Uncertainty

Vinícius has broken his silence regarding his contract renewal with Real Madrid, a deal that currently runs until 2027. Speaking to TNT Brasil, the Brazilian winger tried to ease the tension surrounding his future. “There is a lot of talk about the renewal, yes, but I still have another year left. We are very calm. I trust the president, and he trusts me. We have a very good relationship, and in time, we will sort things out. There is no rush,” he explained. Despite those words, the situation around Vinícius has begun to generate renewed speculation, especially following the departure of Xabi Alonso from the Real Madrid bench. What seemed settled weeks ago is once again a topic of debate. The main reason for the renewed buzz is the presence of Vinícius’ agent, Frederico Pena, in Madrid. As reported by AS, Pena has been in the Spanish capital in recent days and was even seen at the Santiago Bernabéu. Officially, his visit is aimed at supporting the player during a difficult sporting and emotional period. Vinícius has not been at his best recently, and his entourage has closed ranks around him. From the club’s perspective, the message is clear: Real Madrid want Vinícius to stay — but not at any price. The board is not willing to meet the financial demands currently being discussed, particularly the signing bonus requested by the player’s camp. While Vinícius himself has expressed his willingness to renew, he has also made it clear that he is not in a hurry. Real Madrid’s stance is firm. If an agreement is not reached this summer, the club is prepared to place Vinícius on the transfer market rather than risk entering the final stretch of his contract without clarity.
