Vinícius Júnior has yet to extend his contract with Real Madrid beyond 2027, with Liverpool and Arsenal prepared to capitalize on the ongoing impasse, according to reports from Spanish newspaper Marca and journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon. Representatives for the Brazilian winger have held a year of unsuccessful talks with club officials regarding a new deal past his current 2027 expiration date.
Contract Negotiations Stall Over Salary Demands
According to Marca, negotiations have stalled because Vinícius is demanding a net annual salary of approximately €30 miliónov eur v čistom za sezónu. For Real Madrid, that figure doubles once club taxes are factored into the total package. Currently, only Kylian Mbappé commands that tier of wages at the Santiago Bernabéu. The Brazilian forward considers his on-field value equal to the French international and insists on parity with the team’s top earner. However, club president Florentino Pérez has so far refused to meet those demands, leaving the current offer well short of the player’s expectations.
Premier League Interest From Liverpool and Arsenal
As the standoff persists, Premier League clubs are circling the situation. According to journalist Ramón Álvarez de Mon, Liverpool is actively weighing a move to sign Vinícius as a free agent when his contract expires in the summer of 2027. That report has since circulated widely across social media channels on X. Marca adds that Arsenal has also entered the picture, with both English clubs monitoring whether the forward will test the open market or seek an exit earlier.
Did you know? Both Vinícius Júnior and RB Leipzig target Yan Diomande share representation under the same agency, Roc Nation, creating a complex web of negotiations for Real Madrid’s front office.
Real Madrid Eyes RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande
Faced with uncertainty surrounding their star winger, Real Madrid has already begun exploring contingency plans. According to Marca, the club contacted RB Leipzig to inquire about the transfer conditions for Yan Diomande. A potential deal for Diomande would cost roughly €100 miliónov eur, representing a massive financial outlay for a position where the squad already boasts significant depth. Marca notes that if Real Madrid commits to an acquisition of that magnitude, a major departure could eventually follow.
