Vinicius' contract sparks salary wave at Real Madrid

Real Madrid has extended its partnership with one of its main stars — Vinicius Junior — until 2030. The terms of the new agreement may have a serious impact on the club not only from a sporting but also a financial perspective.

The 24-year-old Brazilian forward will now earn more than 20 million euros per year but less than 30 million. In doing so, he officially surpasses the club’s previously set salary cap of 15 million euros. Vinicius now shares the title of the highest-paid Real Madrid player with Kylian Mbappe.

Beginning of a salary revolution?

Vinicius’ new salary may affect the internal wage system. The reason is that Real has always paid special attention to budget and salary balance. However, following this, players such as Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Tchouameni, and other leaders may also demand revised contracts.

Performance and impact

This season, Vinicius appeared in 50 matches across all competitions, scoring 20 goals and providing 16 assists. His speed, technique, and decisiveness have made him one of Real's most important weapons.

At the Bernabeu until 2030

Previously, his contract was valid until the summer of 2027. With the new agreement, the club positions him as the central figure of a long-term project. This also shows that Real continues its strategy of building around young stars.

In conclusion, Vinicius Junior’s contract may cause more waves in finance than on the field. The future of Real’s salary policy, the reactions of other stars, and maintaining internal balance will be serious tests for the club. One thing is clear: Vinicius is now a leader not only on the pitch but also in salary. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
