Vinícius Jr sets out his conditions for extending his Real Madrid contract

Vinicius Jr’s future at Real Madrid remains uncertain. While the Brazilian has yet to officially respond to Saudi Arabia’s monstrous offer, he is putting serious pressure on the Casa Blanca club. The Flamengo-trained player has set conditions before extending his contract.

Vinícius Jr has set out his conditions for extending his contract with Real Madrid. The Brazilian, whose current deal runs until June 2027, wants to be recognised as a true icon, both in sporting and media terms. It’s not just a question of money: According to Defensa Central, Vinícius wants to be treated like the best player in the world.

According to the media outlet, the No7 wants to be at the heart of Real Madrid’s communication strategy. His demands include speaking before major Champions League matches, becoming an emblematic figure in the club’s official shop, and a leadership role in the dressing room. Vinícius feels that he has already carried the team on several occasions and deserves this recognition. This demand shows just how much the 24-year-old believes in his potential. After seven seasons at Real Madrid, he knows the club’s values perfectly well and now wants to leave an indelible mark.

Real Madrid optimistic, but cautious

Real Madrid remain confident of extending Vinícius’ contract, despite the conditions set by the Brazilian. The club know that they have one of the most talented players of his generation on their hands. However, negotiations are shaping up to be tricky, especially with the presence of Kylian Mbappé. Vinícius wants a wage comparable to that of the Frenchman, which could upset the club’s financial balance. Real Madrid, committed to a balanced wage scale, will have to find a compromise to satisfy their striker while preserving the harmony of the dressing room.

Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, is keeping an eye on the situation. Saudi clubs are prepared to offer astronomical sums to lure Vinícius, but the player seems to prefer Real Madrid’s sporting project. For him, staying at Madrid means continuing to shine on the world stage and aiming for prestigious titles.

At just 25, he already has everything it takes to become a footballing legend. But his future at Real Madrid will depend on how the club responds to his expectations. The Brazilian considers himself the best player in the world and wants to be treated as such. He has always given priority to Real Madrid, without demanding exorbitant wages or special conditions. Now he feels the time has come to be rewarded for his efforts.
