Real Madrid will look to sell Brazilian international this summer if they fail to renew contract Following Brazil’s elimination from the FIFA World Cup, the focus has shifted immediately to Vinicius Jr.’s future at Real Madrid. The attacker’s contract expires at the end of next season, meaning Real Madrid are running the risk of losing him on a free transfer next summer. The player will also be eligible to sign a pre-contract agreement in six months’ time – something that Real Madrid simply cannot afford.

The report suggests that new coach Jose Mourinho is keen to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, as the Portuguese boss is not one to tolerate lingering, provisional scenarios within his squad. Mourinho wants clarity, and specifically wants to know whether Vinicius will commit his future to If Vinicius does not sign a new deal, Real Madrid would rather cash in now and recoup a significant fee than risk losing one of their most valuable assets for nothing in a year’s time. For Mourinho, short-term solutions offer no certainty, and he is eager to establish who is on board for the long haul as he builds his project around the likes of Kylian Mbappe, with Michael Olise, Rodri and Alessandro Bastoni all names linked with the club.

Real Madrid’s current offer remains €6-10 million short of Vinicius’ demands. The Spanish giants are understood to have tabled a proposal worth around €20 million net per season, but the Brazilian’s camp is holding out for a considerably higher figure. Despite ongoing discussions, no major breakthrough has been achieved. Real Madrid’s reluctance is not purely financial. The club remain determined not to break their established wage structure, wary that making an exception for Vinicius could set a difficult precedent for future renewals. With several key players whose contracts run until 2029 also due fresh deals, Los Blancos are keen to protect their salary hierarchy.
