Real Madrid keeps planning its squad for next season while it's in the middle of the Club World Cup. Some names are still hanging in the air, which means there's work left to do. On the latest episode of "El Chiringuito," Josep Pedrerol was clear and offered updates on the renewal of Vinícius, a matter that has become increasingly complicated over time.
"Some details remain"
Pedrerol began by saying: "Some details remain in Vinícius's contract renewal. It was almost done, almost settled... When they return from the Club World Cup, they want to solve it. Some things need to be clarified before announcing it."
In this regard, Josep Pedrerol continued: "I've been told that after the Club World Cup, there will be another conversation to announce the renewal agreement, which isn't finalized or signed yet. He hasn't renewed yet, there won't be any problems. Real Madrid's goal is to renew, but there won't be any problems. There are some things that need to be ironed out before signing."
Vinícius Júnior will renew with Real Madrid
Florentino Pérez fully trusts Vinícius Júnior and has strongly backed him. The goal is to make him the new face of the project, even with Mbappé in the squad.
Vinícius has communicated that he wants to stay in the Spanish capital. He wants to show that he still has a lot to offer. The club is going to reward him in a historic way.
After the Club World Cup, the renewal will become official. Vinícius will sign until 2029 with a salary never before seen in the squad. He'll even surpass what Kylian Mbappé will earn. The agreement includes a very high release clause. This way, Real Madrid protects its star from future escape attempts, so Arabia will have to forget about him for good.
The trust of the coaching staff led by Xabi Alonso has also been key. They believe Vinícius will return to his best form very soon. Everything depends on keeping him motivated and focused.
This way, as Josep Pedrerol has announced, when they return to the capital of Spain, the idea is to finalize the last details. Vinícius Júnior will extend his contract with Madrid, he'll be the highest paid in the squad, and he'll have a much more prominent role with Xabi Alonso on the bench.
