Lafayette admits defeat: Real Madrid agrees to Vinicius s sky-high price

In recent months, various rumors about Vinicius' future have been rampant, but now everything is settled. The Brazilian striker, who has joined since 2018, will continue to play for Real Madrid in the next five years.

According to Le As, Real Madrid has reached an agreement with Vinicius on a contract extension, and the Brazilian is about to sign a new five-year agreement in the next few weeks.

It's strange that the new agreement is just to extend Vinicius' current contract to 2027 for three years. It is reported that this is because Vinicius's agent Frederick Pena is more inclined to sign a shorter agreement for his clients, so that the Brazilians will have a more freedom in the future.

This means that Vinicius and his team still have not given up on their dream of making big money in Saudi Arabia, but time has been delayed by several years.

reported that the new contract will allow Vinicius to earn a net income of 100 million euros in the next five years. This means he has surpassed Mbappe to become Real Madrid's highest-paid player, although the Frenchman received a signing bonus that far exceeded his €75 million total salary when he joined Paris Saint-Germain last summer.

Earlier this year, Vinicius's side expressed his desire to become the club's highest-paid player in the new contract. At that time, everyone generally believed that Lafayette would refuse as he did to Ronaldo.

Now it seems that Lafayette has clearly compromised and believes that Vinicius's request is completely acceptable. After all, although the 24-year-old Brazilian striker performed a bit sluggish this season, he is definitely the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's sweep of Europe in recent years.
