Madridists can sleep peacefully and with peace of mind, after they were assured of the future of Brazilian Vinicius Junior (22 years), and they were completely sure that he had already signed a new contract linking him to the club for the next 5 years, specifically to 2027.
As the newspaper “AS” revealed that the agreement between the club and the player was already signed this summer, specifically last July, and that Vinicius gets his new salary “8 million euros”, instead of his salary during his first contract, which he signed in July 2018. It was only 3 million euros.
The newspaper said that it is no longer left but to determine the timing of the official announcement of the renewal of the contract, because there are certain matters that belong to “Fini” alone, without his other compatriots Rodrigo and Eder Militao, who have already determined their future with “Merenghi”.
The Vinicius deal cost Real Madrid 45 million euros, which the club paid 3 years ago, and gave him a salary in line with his status as a promising emerging player, and the contract originally ends on June 30, 2024.
Despite the explosion of his talent, especially last season, and his transformation from a promising star to a “super” that the Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti relies mainly on in his attacking squad, Vinicius never complained about being one of the lowest paid players, after the Ukrainian goalkeeper Lunin, And the heart of the Spanish defense Jesus Fabijo.
The newspaper revealed the fact that there is a penalty clause in Vinicius’ contract worth one billion euros, noting that the clause was specifically set to immunize the Brazilian star against the temptations of Paris Saint-Germain, and send a message to this Parisian club, that Vinicius is “out of waiting.”
In this regard, Saint-Germain sought, through the presence of the Brazilian Leonardo as the club’s sporting director, before his departure since the beginning of the current season, to entice his compatriot Vinicius to play for Paris.
And the newspaper concluded its report by saying that, although no material details of the contract were disclosed, what is certain is that Vinicius’ salary rose from 3 million to 8 million euros, the same as Isco and Marcelo last season.
