Saudi Arabia's Last Call Speeds Everything Up, Vinícius About to Sign Until 2030

The Brazilian footballer could achieve his goal and remain in the first team of the Whites

The rumors about the "Vinícius case" have decreased considerably in recent times given that Real Madrid is immersed in the most demanding phase of the season. However, doubts about the immediate future of the verdeamarelo footballer remain as one of the most important sagas for the Madrid board of directors.

In that sense, the Merengue bosses would have taken advantage of the renewed discretion around this transfer market saga to move toward their most desired resolution: renewal. According to Eduardo Inda's information, the pressure from Saudi Arabia would have finally facilitated the rapprochement of positions between both sides of the negotiation: Vinícius and Real Madrid.

"I'm told that Vinícius Jr. is very close to renewing with Real Madrid", revealed Eduardo Inda on the latest program of "El Chiringuito de Jugones". The veteran political and sports journalist recalls that "the player has a contract until 2027 and I'm told that this link with Real Madrid would be extended" soon.

Eduardo Inda points out that  "I'm told about three years, until 2030. Right now he's 24, almost 25 years old, so he would stay until he's 30 at Real Madrid". The director of 'OKDiario' commented that Vinícius is "close" to renewing with Real Madrid, a circumstance he was forced to clarify live.

Slow But Steady Progress

That definition of "close" is as follows: "they're negotiating and they're very close to reaching an agreement, that's what I'm told". Eduardo Inda warns that Real Madrid could soon secure Vinícius's future as a white player until 2030, but it wouldn't be the only change in the Brazilian footballer's link.

In addition to revealing the information provided by his sources, Eduardo Inda offers an estimated date for the official confirmation of that renewal:  "it may be announced when the season ends". Likewise, "the renewal would mean he would earn a higher base salary than Mbappé and Bellingham", one of his most notable demands... and which would have complicated negotiations with the executives led by Florentino Pérez in recent weeks.

"Mbappé has the signing bonus situation," recalls Eduardo Inda regarding that hypothetical change approaching the salary scale of Santiago Bernabéu locker room. The white leadership would be on the verge of renewing a Vinícius Jr. who, according to 'OKDiario', "doesn't currently see the possibility of making the leap to Saudi Arabia clearly".

The footballer "hasn't finished convincing himself" despite part of his entourage having bet on his move toward the Saudi Pro League this summer. Vinícius wanted to play just two seasons in Saudi Arabia, a limit that the clubs in that country interested in acquiring his services weren't willing to consider under any concept. That's why "he has dismissed this interest" which facilitates his renewal with Real Madrid.
