Madrid star Vinicius Jr. is not yet prepared to be renewed

Vinicius Jr. has reportedly severed contact with the club’s administration over a contract extension, which is causing tension to quietly build in Madrid.

The Brazilian player is not in a rush to extend his contract, which is now set to expire in 2027, despite his public pledge to stay this summer. El Chiringuito asserts that Vinicius wishes to maintain complete control over his future and to stay free from a long-term contract that would restrict his choices.

After months of negotiations, Real Madrid had hoped to sign a new contract, but the player’s camp has been silent, which signals that they are becoming more cautious. Although a transfer to Saudi Arabia has not yet been considered, if nothing changes, the team might find itself in a more precarious position the following season. It is now more important than ever for Madrid to keep their No. 7 pleased.
