Due to the Brazilian’s new link with the white club, he remains the best-paid of the selection and the termination clause is increased to one billion euros.
It had been an open secret for more than a year. And it finally became official. Real Madrid announced the extension of Vinicius Junior’s contract until June 2027, following a negotiation that had been verbally agreed since the summer of 2022 but was only now put on paper.
The 23-year-old Brazilian arrived at the white club in mid-2018 and his contract, which had never been updated until now, expired on June 30, 2024. The new contract obviously has very different figures than the previous one. , is evident from the change in status of the Carioca: he is no longer a promise, but a world star.
With this extension, the wing attacker is not only tied to the Chamartín team for another three years, but he also becomes the highest-paid player in the selection. The new link also includes a termination clause ready to deter any potential interest in the footballer: one billion euros.
In this way, Florentino Pérez and the board send a clear signal about the weight that Vini has in the team: after the departure of Karim Benzema and despite the explosive performance of Jude Bellingham upon his arrival, the Brazilian is the team’s franchise player Real Madrid.
