Real Madrid has increased its contract extension offer, but it still falls short of Vinícius Júnior's initial demands, and the club has requested a quick response.

According to AS, Real Madrid has increased its initial contract extension offer to Vinícius Júnior, but it still does not meet his demands. The ball is now in the Brazilian winger's court. Negotiations took place on Wednesday between the parties, including Vinícius Júnior's agent Federico Pena, as well as José Ángel Sánchez and Juni Calafat from Real Madrid. Neither side dominated the talks entirely, but a compromise was reached that could lead to an agreement if the player accepts. Sources report that Real Madrid's offer will not remain on the table indefinitely, and the club hopes to receive an answer as soon as possible. Vinícius Júnior's contract expires on 30 June, and the countdown to an extension has already begun.

Arsenal is also monitoring this contract standoff, and Arteta hopes to capitalize on the situation by advancing contact and even convincing the squad that they could be teammates with the Brazilian player next season. However, to achieve this, the current impasse between Vinícius Júnior and Real Madrid must first be resolved. Real Madrid initially had no plans to increase its offer, but has shown willingness to reach a verbal agreement, which led to this increase.

AS previously reported that Vinícius Júnior has reduced his initial salary demands from close to €30 million to around €20 million net per season, plus performance bonuses. Contract details also include a significant element: a potential extension bonus similar to the signing bonus Mbappé received upon his transfer. Additionally, Vinícius Júnior hopes to increase his share of image rights revenue, currently just over 50%, which he wishes to continue growing. Cadena SER reported that Real Madrid's floor is €24 million net. This figure is higher than the €20 million they were initially willing to accept but still below the €30 million mentioned at the start of negotiations. The Brazilian side stated that both parties have also included various bonus clauses, which makes the player believe that the club and he are now on the same page. Both sides are optimistic about this new contract, which would run until 2031. However, showing good faith, Real Madrid also hopes for a swift response.

While the future extension remains uncertain, Vinícius Júnior was accompanied by his closest confidant, Tata Soares, during team training yesterday at the Valdebebas training ground. Soares also attended the negotiations. Meanwhile, Vinícius Júnior sent a rather intriguing signal on social media. The Brazilian star suddenly cleared his social media account, leaving his 639,000 followers and the entire football world momentarily puzzled. His profile picture, posts, and pinned content disappeared entirely. Coincidentally, this occurred on the day the situation shifted.
