Carlo Ancelotti breaks his silence on Vinicius Jr. future at Real Madrid
However, all eyes are now on Vinicius Jr. potential contract renewal, a topic that has taken center stage after Carlo Ancelotti made strong statements about the talented Brazilian forward’s future with the club.
Despite key absences in defense, Real Madrid has managed to stay undefeated in recent fixtures. At the same time, the team’s attack has stepped up significantly, with Kylian Mbappé scoring 16 goals and Vinicius Jr. contributing 8 in La Liga, further solidifying his importance to the squad.
The contract negotiations surrounding Vinicius Jr. have become a major talking point. Even Carlo Ancelotti has had to address the situation, delivering a firm stance on the Brazilian star’s future at the club.
During a press conference, Ancelotti was asked the inevitable question about Vinicius Jr.’s renewal. Without hesitation, the Real Madrid manager responded bluntly: “I’m tired of this topic. I’m not worried. He’s happy here, and we’re happy with him,” Ancelotti stated, making his position clear.
For the Real Madrid coach, the renewal of the Brazilian star shouldn’t be such a controversial issue. According to him, Vinicius Jr. appears content and eager to continue wearing the white jersey.
Despite Ancelotti’s confidence, the issue of Vinicius Jr.’s contract renewal has generated widespread debate. According to Antonio García of La Ser, the Brazilian forward is unwilling to accept an extension worth 20 million euros net per year, as he reportedly expects an even higher offer.
>However, García also reports that Vinicius remains calm about the situation, as his current contract with the club runs until 2027.
Real Madrid faces the challenge of maintaining balance in its wage structure.
According to Manu Carreño of La Ser, Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham, and Kylian Mbappé each earn a net salary of 15 million euros per year.
If Vinicius secures a higher salary than his teammates, it could create tension within the squad, as the club follows a strict financial policy to maintain stability and avoid disparities among its top stars.
