Vinicius' renewal with Real Madrid is stalled due to economic differences. Both parties have agreed to resume negotiations after the Brazilian's holiday period.
The future of Vinicius at Real Madrid remains uncertain. The white club and the Brazilian forward have decided to postpone the negotiation of his renewal until the player returns from his holidays, according to sources familiar with the process. The current contract of the winger expires in 2027, and the economic positions remain divided.
Salary differences hindering the agreement
The main obstacle is the salary. Vinicius demands to be the highest paid in the squad or to match Kylian Mbappé's salary, while Real Madrid considers that figure unfeasible. The club is willing to improve his pay, but without making an 'economic madness' that would disrupt their wage structure.
President Florentino Pérez is personally handling the talks and is confident in convincing the player. The Brazilian has expressed on several occasions his desire to continue at the club, but the economic differences keep the agreement at a standstill.
The clock is ticking: risk of free departure
Real Madrid is concerned that Vinicius could leave for free in 2027 if an agreement is not reached. From January 2026, the player could negotiate his departure with other clubs. So far, no firm offers have arrived at Valdebebas, although the club does not rule out putting him on the market this summer if negotiations do not progress.
The player's camp remains optimistic, but there are voices within the white board that do not dismiss any scenario. What is clear is that the club wants to resolve the matter as soon as possible to avoid a saga that drags on throughout the season.
For Madrid fans, the uncertainty is at its peak. While Vinicius enjoys his days off, the board is working to find a solution that satisfies both parties. The next meeting, after the Brazilian's holidays, will be crucial in defining his future at the club.
