Real Madrid wants to close the agreement with Vinicius Junior on a certain date

Real Madrid attempted to start contract talks with star striker Vinicius Junior, but his agents told him to wait, while Saudi Arabia tried to persuade him to sign a billion-euro contract for the next five years. The whites consider Al-Ahli their biggest obstacle to signing a new contract with the Brazilian.

According to Relevo, Vinicius considered leaving Real Madrid for Saudi Arabia, but decided it was not the time to leave the Santiago Bernabéu, with plenty of time to head to the Middle East later in his career. That’s part of the reason why Los Blancos are optimistic about a new contract for their star.

On the other hand, Saudi Arabia spoke with his agents again in December, once again expressing their interest in Vinicius for next summer. They are expected to return with the €1 billion contract offer and are optimistic about their own chances of signing him sooner or later. In their attempt to avoid the attraction of Saudi oil money, Real Madrid are interested in closing a new contract with Vinicius before the end of the season.

Certainly, if Vinicius enters the summer without a new contract with Real Madrid, then the noise from Saudi Arabia could become a distraction as they will no doubt do everything they can to persuade him. If Vinicius spends the summer without a new contract and the current one ends in 2027, the clock will also start ticking for Real Madrid, which will be unfavorable for their negotiations.
