In Spain, they reveal the amount Vinícius is demanding to renew his contract

With a contract that runs until 2027, the future of Vinícius Júnior at Real Madrid has become one of the most talked-about subjects in Spanish football in recent weeks.

The Brazilian star’s potential contract renewal is dominating headlines, with AS now revealing fresh details that offer a clearer picture of what could become one of the most significant renewal deals in the club’s history. According to the Spanish newspaper, Vinícius is asking for a net salary of 20 million euros per year, a figure that would represent a five million euro increase compared to his current earnings.

Such a demand, while substantial, reflects Vinícius’ growing status within the team and in world football. Over the past few seasons, the 24-year-old winger has evolved from a raw talent full of promise into a genuine superstar and one of Real Madrid’s most decisive players. His importance in Carlo Ancelotti’s system cannot be overstated he is often the focal point of Madrid’s attacking play, responsible for breaking defensive lines with his speed, dribbling, and flair, while also providing crucial goals and assists in the club’s quest for domestic and European success.

Real Madrid has already opened formal talks with the player’s representatives, fully aware of both the financial expectations and the symbolic weight this renewal carries. Vinícius is not just one of the team’s best players; he has become the face of the club’s present and future, a player who embodies the mix of flair, intensity, and determination that Madrid fans adore. Ensuring his long-term commitment is not just a contractual formality it is a strategic priority for the club’s president, Florentino Pérez, who sees Vinícius as a pillar of the next great Real Madrid era.

The renewal discussions are also happening against the backdrop of persistent interest from Saudi Arabia, where wealthy clubs are desperate to attract elite players in their prime, and are willing to break the bank to do so. Last summer, reports surfaced that one unnamed Saudi club was prepared to offer Vinícius an extraordinary financial package, one that would have dwarfed even the most lucrative contracts in Europe. At the time, the Brazilian rejected the approach outright, committed to continuing his story at the Santiago Bernabéu. However, sources close to the player suggest that Saudi interest has not gone away, and a fresh approach with even more astronomical figures could arrive in the near future.

For Real Madrid, this context adds even more urgency to the renewal negotiations. The club has always prided itself on its ability to hold onto global superstars, from Cristiano Ronaldo to Luka Modric, ensuring that the best players in the world view the Bernabéu as the ultimate destination. Losing Vinícius, particularly to a non-European league, would be seen as a significant blow to Madrid’s image of sporting dominance.

It is also worth noting that Vinícius’ case is somewhat unique. Unlike previous stars who had already reached their peak when they joined Real Madrid, Vinícius arrived in 2018 as a teenage prodigy with immense potential but plenty of rough edges. His transformation into a world-class forward happened inside Valdebebas, making him a homegrown star in spirit, even if not by origin. That journey from a raw, inconsistent winger to the FIFA The Best Men’s Player makes his story one that both the player and the club feel emotionally attached to.

Vinícius’ numbers this season once again underline his importance. In 38 appearances, the Brazilian has scored 18 goals and provided 10 assists, directly contributing to a remarkable percentage of Madrid’s total goals across all competitions. Beyond statistics, his influence on the pitch is immeasurable drawing multiple defenders, opening space for teammates, and delivering in the club’s biggest matches. His Champions League heroics, including his iconic performances against Liverpool, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich in recent seasons, have only cemented his status as a big-game player, a trait that Madrid values more than almost anything else.

With all this in mind, Real Madrid is not expected to hesitate when it comes to meeting Vinícius’ demands even if 20 million euros net per year places him among the highest earners at the club, alongside Jude Bellingham and Toni Kroos. Internally, the feeling is that Vinícius deserves to be compensated at a level that reflects both his contribution on the pitch and his commercial value off it. The Brazilian is one of the most marketable players in the world, with a rapidly growing global fanbase, particularly in South America and Asia, where his flair and style resonate strongly with younger fans.

As the negotiations progress, Real Madrid’s board is confident that an agreement will be reached, securing Vinícius’ services for the long term. The player himself is said to be fully committed to staying at the club, understanding that Madrid offers the best platform for him to continue winning major titles and to one day, potentially, follow in the footsteps of club legends like Cristiano Ronaldo and Raúl.

For now, the focus remains on finishing the season strongly but in the background, one of the most important renewals in Real Madrid’s modern history is quietly unfolding. For Real Madrid fans, Vinícius Júnior represents not just the present but the future, and securing that future even at a record cost is seen as a price worth paying for the player who could define the next decade at the Santiago Bernabéu.
