Real Madrid: new offer from Florentino Pérez for Vinicius Jr

Despite swirling rumors coming out of Arsenal, for now, Vinicius Jr remains a Real Madrid player. Los Blancos have even tabled a fresh offer to the Brazilian star.

Real Madrid has made it clear: either he accepts the contract extension on the table, or he will have to move on. But if he refuses to renew and doesn't leave during the transfer window, he could find himself relegated to the bench. That's what Marca reported last Friday.

And this Tuesday, new updates have emerged regarding Vinicius Jr. COPE reports that the Brazilian has returned with the ambition to extend his stay, as he is set to meet with Florentino Pérez, who also wants to keep him at the club. Meanwhile, ESPN reveals that Real Madrid has made a fresh contract extension offer to their winger.

Los Merengues reached out to the player's representatives after the 2026 World Cup to restart talks that had stalled. According to Brazilian media, Real Madrid has now increased their proposal, offering him €22 million per season.

The player and his camp want him to sign what would be the biggest contract of his career, as he's in his prime and already a proven star. But the question remains—will this new offer be enough, or will Vini Jr turn it down, as he's also seeking bonuses and more control over his image rights? The Athletic notes that Real Madrid will not give in to his demands for a signing bonus, as that could set an unwelcome precedent among his teammates.
