Real Madrid has initiated contract renewal discussions with Vinícius Júnior, despite the Brazilian star still having two years remaining on his current deal. This move comes as Vinícius faces an alluring offer from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which owns multiple Saudi Pro League clubs. While talks are still in their early stages, Vinícius' happiness with his current situation and his desire to remain at Madrid are evident.
Vinícius Júnior 's contract with Real Madrid runs until June 2027. The Spanish club usually initiates renewal talks with star players when they have two years left on their contracts, but Madrid has made an exception for Vinícius. According to a source, Madrid has approached the player's team and expressed their desire to start discussions, focusing initially on salary adjustments.
However, the source emphasized that negotiations are in their early stages and that Vinícius' representatives haven't received a formal offer yet. The source added that Vinícius is content with his current contract at Madrid and is not feeling pressured to expedite the talks. 'It's very important for me to reach 100 goals and be a part of this club's history,' Vinícius told Real Madrid TV. 'At 24 years old, and after seven seasons, to be making history is something very important for me and my entire family. Let's hope I can carry on here for many more years.' ESPN previously reported that Vinícius was approached again by representatives from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), which owns four Saudi Pro League sides, with an official offer from the Middle East expected soon. A new meeting between Madrid executives and Vinícius' agent is scheduled to take place in a fortnight when the team faces Manchester City in the Champions League playoff stage, the source told ESPN. Vinícius has contributed 17 goals in all competitions for Madrid this season, playing a key role in their dominance at the top of LaLiga and their qualification to the Champions League knockout phase playoffs. Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti stated last week amidst the Saudi Arabia links that Vinícius is 'choosing glory' over a lucrative move to the SPL. 'They're individual decisions,' Ancelotti said. 'But to me, the player looks happy and excited about staying here and winning trophies with Real Madrid. I think he's thinking about choosing glory.
