After a busy summer transfer window in which Real Madrid brought in the likes of Jude Bellingham, Fran Garcia, Joselu, and Kepa Arrizabalaga, the Merengues are now concentrating on ensuring the continuity of the players they already have on their payrolls.
The club is in negotiations with some of the youngsters whose contracts are running out in the coming years. The most notable players in this regard include Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, and Eduardo Camavinga.
There is good news for Real Madrid fans as the club has officially announced the contract extension of the winger Vinicius Junior. The statement published by the club in this regard goes as:
“Real Madrid CF and Vini Jr. have agreed to extend the player’s contract, which remains linked to the club until June 30, 2027.”
Thus, the new contract will keep the Brazilian in Real Madrid till 2027. This extension was needed as the previous contract of Vinicius Jr. was going to end in the summer of 2024. The two parties had agreed on the extension some months ago.
Real Madrid initially wanted the Brazilian to sign an extension till 2028. However, the player wanted a contract that went till 2026 or 2027, and the latter year was agreed upon by both parties in the end.
The Brazilian’s release clause has also increased from €350 million to €1 billion, which is the usual release clause that Real Madrid sets for its star players. The player has also seen his salary receive a bump, as it has increased from €3.2 million to €10 million plus bonuses.
This is an important achievement for the club, as Vinicius has emerged as the face of the team in the last few years, and is an indispensable player for Carlo Ancelotti. Fans also love the player, and this contract extension will definitely relieve the fans who want to see him spend his entire career in the Spanish capital.
