The renewal of Vinicius with Real Madrid remains uncertain, but on Wednesday there was a rapprochement. It took place in a meeting, according to EL MUNDO, between José Ángel Sánchez, general director of the white club, and representatives of the Brazilian forward. Some progress was made there for the extension of his contract. There was “good harmony,” according to close sources, in a meeting in which, although nothing conclusive was reached, positions did come closer. There is also optimism in the player’s environment.
The entity presided over by Florentino Pérez has increased the 20 million euros per season it was offering to extend his contract, but it is still far from the 30 demanded by the Brazilian international. One of the issues distancing both parties is the renewal bonus claimed by the player, which Madrid refuses.
More than the salary itself, where progress seems to have been made, it has been in bringing numbers closer on image rights, which today are held 50% by the club and 50% by the player. Because the other route sought by the player, the renewal bonus, remains a thorny issue. Real Madrid does not intend to give in to avoid setting a precedent.
Vinicius has already rejoined training under José Mourinho after the four weeks of vacation he enjoyed following his participation with Brazil in the World Cup. The club hopes he will offer a definitive response as soon as possible.

The Brazilian sought with the renewal to bring his salary closer to that of Kylian Mbappé, the highest-paid player on the squad, with 30 million euros per season. The uncertainty about his continuity has unleashed the logical interest from major European clubs, with Arsenal leading. The player’s contract ends in June 2027. He would become a free agent and could leave without generating any income for the club.
Meanwhile, the arrival of Yan Diomande seems increasingly close, for whom Real Madrid could pay Leipzig more than one hundred million. This outlay could be joined by the signing of Rodri, who still has one season left on his contract with Manchester City. At Concha Espina, they also intend to close the signing of a player Mourinho considers fundamental for his new project before the start of the League.mo
