Real Madrid: Face-to-face meeting set between Vinicius Jr and José Mourinho

In their push to extend Vinicius Jr’s contract, Real Madrid have reportedly agreed to raise their latest offer to the Brazilian’s camp to a net salary of €20 million. Now back at the club, the player is set for a decisive meeting with José Mourinho.

Currently, Vinicius Jr earns €18 million net per year at Real Madrid, including bonuses and incentives. However, the former Flamengo prodigy is said to be demanding €30 million annually from the club, plus a range of bonuses, including a signing bonus for his new contract—demands Real Madrid are refusing to meet.

With Arsenal rumors swirling around this saga in recent days, the Brazilian forward will have to give Real Madrid clarity on his future very soon. According to AS, everything could be decided in the coming week. Vinicius Jr is set to return to Madrid after his holidays and is expected to sit down with club management to discuss what’s next.

Vini will have to sit down face-to-face with his manager, José Mourinho. He’ll be expected to reveal his true intentions, while the Portuguese coach will outline his plans for the No.7 for the upcoming season. This discussion could prove pivotal in this ongoing saga. If Mourinho makes it clear that Vinicius will be his offensive leader, it could tip the scales toward a contract extension.
