The white club and the Brazilian's entourage will sit down in Valdebebas to discuss the extension of his contract, which expires in 2027. The board wants to resolve his situation before the start of the season.

Real Madrid has a key meeting next week at the Ciudad Deportiva de Valdebebas. Representatives of the white entity will meet with Vinicius Jr.'s agents to discuss the renewal of the Brazilian forward's contract, which expires on June 30, 2027. The club aims to secure the continuity of one of its stars, while the player must decide whether to accept the extension offer or explore other future options.

According to Sergio Horas in 'ElDesmarque de Cuatro', both parties are scheduled to discuss the new deal. The board, led by Florentino Pérez, wants to tie Vinicius down long-term, aware that his market value continues to rise. The 26-year-old Brazilian has been a key player in the team's recent titles, and his performance on the pitch makes him a coveted asset.

Interest from other clubs has not taken long to materialise. Portuguese coach José Mourinho, who currently manages Fenerbahçe, has expressed his desire to have Vinicius if an agreement with Real Madrid is not reached. Although he has not spoken directly with the player, his entourage has conveyed that intention. However, the Brazilian's priority remains to continue at the Santiago Bernabéu, according to sources close to the player.

The Madrid fans have also voiced their opinions on social media, where they are divided between those calling for his renewal and those who believe a sale could be beneficial for the club's finances. The board, for its part, remains calm and confident that negotiations will reach a successful conclusion.

Real Madrid has experienced similar situations with other stars in the past, and the experience has taught them to manage the timing. This week's meeting will be crucial to clear up uncertainties about Vinicius's future, who remains one of the most impactful players in European football. The club hopes to finalise the agreement before pre-season begins, to avoid distractions in the dressing room.

Meanwhile, the Brazilian is on holiday after the season, but his representatives have already indicated they are open to hearing Real Madrid's proposal. The club's offer would include a significant salary increase and a release clause commensurate with his status. Should an understanding not be reached, the club would not rule out a sale this summer to avoid losing value in the future.

The transfer market is still ongoing, and Vinicius's name is appearing in the lists of major European clubs. However, Real Madrid feels strong and trusts that the player wants to continue wearing white. Next week, the first steps of a negotiation that will shape the team's direction for the coming years will be revealed.
