Real Madrid: Vinicius Jr stands firm on his position

This summer, Vinicius finds himself at the crossroads of his contract situation at Real Madrid, Arsenal's interest, and the potential signing of Yan Diomandé, who shares the same agents as him. The Brazilian has every reason to question his future.

According to information from AS, everything is clear in Vinicius Jr's mind. The Brazilian winger, now in the final year of his contract, has no plans to leave the club this summer.

Vinicius Jr is solely focused on extending his stay, which is also a top priority for the club's management. For Real Madrid, the pursuit of Ivorian talent Yan Diomandé is unrelated to Vinicius Jr's future. José Mourinho is also eager to keep him in the squad. The only question that remains is whether the club and the player will finally strike a deal.

Back from vacation next week, Vinicius Jr will meet with club officials to clarify his role in the project. The Brazilian is still demanding a net annual salary of €20 million, compared to the €18 million he is set to earn next season thanks to the incremental pay rise negotiated in his last extension in 2022.
