Real Madrid is negotiating to extend the contract with Vinicius Junior. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
However, the club is trying not to disrupt the internal salary structure. Currently, the 25-year-old Brazilian forward earns an average net income of 15 million euros per year.
His current contract is set to last until 2027. His salary will increase each season, and over the five-year period, Vinicius is expected to earn approximately 150 million euros in total.
After winning The Best award, his annual income increased by another two million euros. According to sources, the Madrid management is cautious about raising Vinicius's salary above 15 million euros per year, as this could require a review of the contracts of Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
It is not out of the question that they want to maintain parity in their salaries. Those around Vinicius consider the preferential bonus he received for Mbappe's arrival at Real as part of the salary structure and believe it should be taken into account when comparing incomes.
At the same time, media reports indicate that Vinicius has not considered the option of moving to Saudi Arabia and intends to continue his career specifically at Real. He is waiting for conditions that match the level of his achievements at the club.
