Real Madrid is speeding up its attempts to address one of the club’s most serious contract issues.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the Spanish giants hope to finalize Vinicius Jr.’s contract before the 2019 FIFA World Cup.
Despite being one of the club’s most significant players, Vinicius’ long-term prospects are questionable.
His current contract extends until 2027, although there has been no meaningful movement in discussions thus far.
This delay has caused alarm within the club, particularly given his role on and off the field.
Financial disagreements
The dispute is over salaries, with the Brazilian attacker apparently demanding parity with Kylian Mbappe, who is at the top of Real Madrid’s compensation hierarchy.
However, while Real Madrid is willing to offer Vinicius a better deal, they are unwilling to match Mbappe’s salary.

Furthermore, there was talk of a summer withdrawal if no deal could be achieved.
As a result, that scenario now looks exceedingly improbable, with club president Florentino Perez reportedly taking personal charge of the matter and prioritizing Vinicius’ renewal.
Internally, the Brazilian is regarded as irreplaceable, not only for his performances, but also for his distinctive profile on the current transfer market.
Real Madrid allegedly believes there is no equivalent talent available, which is another reason they want to extend his contract.
