Real Madrid has decided to make Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior their most expensive player. This is by having him sign a five-year contract.
The talks between Vinicius and Real Madrid regarding contract renewal have been successful so far. The forward, who won FIFA’s Best Player award last season, is being offered a salary of 20 million euros per year after tax by Real. This amount is estimated to reach 30 million with sponsorships and bonuses. Thus, he will receive at least 100 million euros over five years. According to a Spanish newspaper, Real offered such a high salary due salary due to increased efforts from the Saudi Pro League to acquire Vinicius.
Vinicius’ current contract with Real is set to expire in 2027. Vinicius joined Real Madrid in 2018. So far, he has won the Spanish League three times with the club. He has also won the UEFA Champions League twice. He scored in the final on both occasions. However, this season, Vinicius’ performance has been the target of criticism from many supporters. In the Spanish League, he has scored only 11 goals in 28 matches. And in the Champions League, he scored only eight goals in 12 matches.
