Vinícius Júnior Sets to sign a new Real Madrid contract

Vinícius Júnior is close to agreeing to a new contract at Real Madrid soon  that would keep the forward at the club until 2030.

A meeting between the player's representatives and Madrid executives took place this week, the source said, and the two sides are close on the terms.

Vinícius would earn €20 million ($22.5m) per season after tax, which could rise to €30 million ($33.8m) including bonuses, the source said.

The deal would make him the club's highest earner.

Vinícius' current deal, which is due to expire in June 2027, was agreed to in 2022 and made official a year later.

Since then, he has been recognized as one of the world's best players, winning FIFA's The Best Men's Player award last year, and finishing runner-up in the Ballon d'Or.
