Vinicius renews with Real Madrid until 2030

The deal is moving toward completion. After 18 months of negotiations that began in early 2025, Vinicius Junior and Real Madrid have agreed to extend the contract of the 26-year-old Brazilian winger, according to The Athletic. A meeting held on Wednesday between both parties finalized the details of an improved offer that reflects the player's importance to the Merengues.

The Brazilian rejected an opportunity from Arsenal and chose to stay at the club that signed him in 2018. His previous contract was set to expire in 2027, but he has finally secured the terms he wanted from Real Madrid. Although salary details have not yet been disclosed, Vinicius is expected to sign a long-term renewal with a significant salary package, with official announcement anticipated before the end of this week.
