Enrique Sanz Vini's future changes overnight, his agents have just announced it
The contract renewal of the Carioca footballer has come very close to becoming completely stuck
Real Madrid keeps making progress to finalize one of the major sagas it has handled throughout much of the 24/25 season: the renewal of Vinícius Jr. The verdeamarelo footballer began to raise doubts about his future with the white squad right after the defeat in the Ballon d'Or.
To ease the impact of that event, the executives led by Florentino Pérez offered him the signing of a new contract. The Brazilian star's entourage decided to reject that approach, waiting several months to resume talks on a very delicate matter.
Vinícius's bond with Real Madrid has a fixed duration until the summer of 2027, but from the Valdebebas offices they believe there are enough arguments to renew him. Not for nothing, the offers sent from Saudi Arabia became a more than considerable temptation for the Madridist "7".
Although he ultimately did not want to know anything about the proposals put forward by the Saudi Pro League, the Merengue leadership has worked tirelessly to retain its star. The conversations with Vinícius's agents have experienced certain ups and downs, but the information published by MARCA brings the end of this long saga closer.
The end is near
The sources consulted by the Spanish sports daily assure that the representatives of the São Gonçalo striker would be resolving the final details of Vinícius Jr.'s new contract. In that sense, the official announcement of the deal with Real Madrid could come right after the Club World Cup.
That was the date when the Merengue bosses wanted to announce the signing of the renewal, to avoid distractions for Xabi Alonso's pupils during the world championship. MARCA also warns that Vinícius will renew until mid-2030, a key date in the construction of the sports project and in the future of the South American player himself.
Because Real Madrid could work on its succession well in advance, avoiding sports risks and an unwanted drop in the team's performance, as happened with Cristiano Ronaldo. At the same time, Vinícius could follow several paths.
Besides staying at Real Madrid, renewing annually because he would have already surpassed the 30-year-old barrier, he could also end his career in the elite of European soccer. After leaving his best soccer years at the white club, Vinícius would have the chance to enjoy a "golden retirement" in Saudi Arabia.
