Vinicius Jr. eyes World Cup to boost contract talks

Vinicius Jr. sees the World Cup as a chance to strengthen his position in contract talks with Real Madrid. He aims to win the tournament with Brazil. His current contract runs to 2027, leaving one year before expiry. A strong World Cup showing could raise his bargaining power. He is reportedly seeking a salary comparable to Kylian Mbappe, around €30 million per season. This would place him at the top of Real Madrid’s wage structure. If his World Cup performance falls short, Real Madrid may hold a stronger negotiating position. The club also monitors the possibility of Vinicius discussing a free transfer with other clubs.
