The arrival of Alvaro Arbeloa on the Real Madrid bench has proven decisive in changing Vinicius Junior's attitude towards his future at the Madrid club.
However, before a possible contract renewal, the club and the player still have to overcome large differences in financial terms.
"Arbeloa has changed the scenario, because both in public and in private he is showing himself to be very close to Vinicius, giving him support and trust. He has even stated that he will ask his teammates to constantly look for him with the ball, so that he can make the difference, because for him he is one of the best players in the world, along with Kylian Mbappe," said journalist Mario Cortegana.
On his YouTube channel, Cortegana points out that, following the departure of Xabi Alonso, whom Vinicius considered an obstacle to the development of his career, the Brazilian striker has begun to seriously consider extending his contract with Real Madrid.
The financial issue, still an obstacle
The club's leaders also want to extend their cooperation with the Brazilian, but the current economic offer remains far from the player's demands.
Real Madrid is offering around 20 million euros per season, while Vinicius is asking for around 30 million euros.
Consequently, despite the positive disposition from both sides, the negotiations are still far from a final agreement.
A possible solution could be to increase the fixed salary or improve bonuses, but these options have not yet been specifically discussed and, at the moment, there are no meetings planned.
However, Vinicius Junior feels much calmer and more appreciated than a few months ago, a positive signal for Real Madrid and for his continuity at the Santiago Bernabeu. /Telegraph/
