Madrid: Real Madrid have reportedly improved their contract offer to Vinícius Júnior as the Spanish giants step up efforts to secure the Brazilian forward’s long-term future amid continued interest from Arsenal. Club officials are now awaiting the player’s final decision after fresh negotiations with his representatives.
According to multiple reports, the revised proposal would increase Vinícius’ annual salary to around €22 million, up from his current deal, as Madrid look to end months of uncertainty surrounding one of their biggest stars. However, the 26-year-old is understood to be seeking a package closer to €30 million per season, leaving a gap between the two sides.
The latest offer follows positive discussions between the club and the player’s representatives. Reports in Spain suggest both parties made progress during recent meetings, although a final agreement has yet to be reached. Real Madrid remain optimistic that the Brazilian will commit his future to the club.
Vinícius, whose current contract expires in June 2027, has repeatedly expressed his desire to remain at Real Madrid, describing the club as his “dream club.” Speaking during the club’s pre-season preparations, he said he is enjoying working under new head coach José Mourinho and is fully focused on the upcoming campaign.
Despite Madrid’s confidence, Arsenal continue to monitor the situation closely. The Premier League champions are believed to be ready to move should contract talks collapse, although no transfer has been agreed and the Spanish club remain determined to retain the Brazil international.
Vinícius has been one of Real Madrid’s standout performers in recent seasons, scoring 128 goals and providing 100 assists in 376 appearances for the club. He remains a central figure in Madrid’s long-term plans as they prepare for the new season.
For now, Real Madrid have made their improved offer, and the next move rests with Vinícius as both sides look to bring one of football’s biggest contract sagas to a successful conclusion.
