Real Madrid want to finalise superstar’s renewal before the World Cup Real Madrid are stepping up efforts to resolve one of the most important contract situations at the club. According to Mundo Deportivo , the Spanish giants are aiming to finalise Vinicius Jr. ’s renewal before the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

Despite being one of the club’s most influential players, Vinicius’ long-term future remains uncertain. His current deal runs until 2027, yet there has been little concrete progress in negotiations so far. This delay has raised concerns within the club, especially given his importance both on and off the pitch.

Financial disagreements At the heart of the issue lies a disagreement over wages, as the Brazilian forward is reportedly seeking parity with Kylian Mbappe, who sits at the top of Real Madrid’s salary structure. However, while Real Madrid are willing to offer Vinicius an improved deal, they are not prepared to match Mbappe’s earnings. Interestingly, the report suggests that the player had previously accepted similar terms before later rejecting them, which is why Real Madrid are unwilling to make changes to their offer.

As such, that scenario now appears highly unlikely, as club president Florentino Perez is said to have taken personal control of the situation , viewing Vinicius’ renewal as a top priority.
