Vinicius Jr. set to extend contract with Real Madrid: Reports
Real Madrid are at a crucial juncture in their season where a loss in any competition will see them miss out on a trophy, be it in La Liga or the Copa del Rey. Despite recent defeats, Ancelotti has remained optimic regarding the remainder of the games this season. While the quarter-final exit against Arsenal will stick out like a sore thumb for the remainder of the campaign, both La Liga and the CDR are up for grabs.
As far as the managerial situation is concerned, the future of head coach Carlo Ancelotti is still in the fog. While the rumours linking him to Brazil remain active, the club is taking no risks with its players.
Vinicius set to sign massive new deal at Real
The Brazilian’s current agreement with the club keeps him at the Bernabeu till 2027, with him earning $ 421,792 every week (₹1.75 billion annually). Even though the club had no plans on selling the player, nor did he ever think about leaving the Spaniards, a new contract extension is in order.

As per Fabrizio Romano, the 24-year-old is very close to signing a new deal with the club. While the extension period remains unclear, there are reports that the forward will put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at Real, either till 2029 or 2030. As far as his payout is concerned, there is no official report regarding the same.
With Ancelotti’s future undecided and Xabi Alonso being the clear favourite to succeed if he does in fact leave, this could mean a renewed role for the forward under a new manager and a new tactical approach. Under Ancelotti this season, the club made things difficult for itself with a lopsided attack, given the fact that Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius all prefer playing out of the left.
What next for Vinicius?
With crucial games on the horizon for the Los Blancos, Real will call upon their trusted No. 7 to get the job done in the Copa del Rey final as well as the El Clasico, potentially the title decider, in La Liga.
