- Vinicius Junior has agreed a massive new contract with Real Madrid, say reports
- The Brazilian winger scored 23 goals last season and is one of their star players
- And reports in Spain state the 22-year-old has signed a five-year deal at Real
Vinicius Junior has signed a massive new five-year contract at Real Madrid, according to reports in Spain.
The Brazilian winger scored 23 goals in all competitions last season and is one of the club’s star players.
He enjoyed a superb 2022, helping Real to the LaLiga, Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup titles, as well as being named in the LaLiga and Champions League teams of the season for the last two campaigns.
The club are keen to tie him down to tie him down to fresh terms, and as reported by Spanish outlet Cadena ESR, Vinicius has agreed a mega new deal keeping him at the Bernabeu until 2028.
Real and Vinicius are said to be in the final stages of negotiation, with agreement between both parties.

The five-year deal reportedly contains an £860million buyout clause and a big loyalty bonus

They add that the contract raises him to the status of one of the club’s top earners.
It also reportedly increases his buyout clause to £860m (€1billion) and contains a ‘loyalty clause’ – a bonus for fulfilling the entire contract in an attempt to keep him at the club for the whole five years.
It is similar to clauses Kylian Mbappe has at Paris Saint-Germain or that Lionel Messi once had at Barcelona.
He will also receive a bonus if he wins the Ballon d’Or award during his time at the club.
The contract shows Real Madrid are committed to keeping Vinicius, who was recently handed the legendary No 7 shirt after Eden Hazard’s exit, at the club for the long term.
They have long-standing interest in PSG superstar Mbappe, and are one of the few clubs in the world that could afford him.
Mbappe prefers to play off the left side like Vinicius, not through the middle, raising questions as to whether Real would sell Vinicius to accommodate Mbappe.
But it now appears the Frenchman may have to compromise if he does want his move to the Spanish capital.
