Here’s the latest update from the 2026 FIFA World Cup as of 2026-08-04 13:25:00.
Real Madrid and Vinícius Júnior Set for Contract Talks
Real Madrid is scheduled to meet with Vinícius Júnior’s representatives this week to continue discussions about his contract renewal, according to sources. However, the club is not willing to raise its latest offer to the talented forward.
Reports indicate that Real Madrid proposed a new contract worth approximately €22 million annually, an increase from previous negotiations that stagnated since the FIFA World Cup 2026.
Amid intense speculation surrounding his future, Vinícius, whose current contract expires in June 2027, has attracted interest from Premier League champions Arsenal. Despite the talks, Madrid representatives have stated that they will not exceed the most recent proposal, as the gap between what they offer and the player’s demands—estimated at €30 million—remains considerable.
Chief scout Juni Calafat is reportedly advocating for Vinícius’ renewal. A club official noted that the meeting is set for Wednesday, while a source close to the player confirmed that talks will take place this week.
Currently, Vinícius earns around €17.5 million per year and enters the final year of his deal. If a renewal is not reached, he could leave the Bernabéu as a free agent at the end of the season and would be eligible to agree on terms with another club from January.
Sources also indicated that Vinícius and his agents view this opportunity as crucial, given that he is 26 years old and believes it will be the defining contract of his career. They feel that the club should duly recognize his contributions since joining in 2018, which include scoring in two Champions League finals.
Additionally, it has been reported that Madrid may consider a sale for Vinícius this summer if no agreement is reached, with expectations of receiving around €150 million despite his contract status.
Vinícius has returned to training after his post-World Cup break, completing medical tests and rejoining teammates and new coach José Mourinho.
