Sun May 11 15:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Vinicius Jr. Signs Bumper New Deal with Real Madrid, Matching Mbappé’s Salary

**Madrid, Spain** – Real Madrid has secured the future of Brazilian star Vinicius Junior, announcing a new contract that will keep him at the Bernabéu until 2030. The deal, finalized before the end of La Liga and ahead of the Club World Cup, makes Vinicius one of the highest-paid players in the world, earning a salary comparable to that of teammate Kylian Mbappé.

According to sources, Vinicius’s annual net salary will reach approximately $22.5 million, a significant increase from his previous contract. While Mbappé’s exact salary isn’t publicly disclosed, Real Madrid has confirmed that it’s in the same range, excluding a substantial signing bonus. The new contract is effective immediately, meaning Vinicius will begin receiving his increased salary this season. Over the next five years, he is expected to earn around $112.5 million net.

The agreement, which is Vinicius’s third with Real Madrid, includes substantial performance-based incentives tied to both team and individual achievements. Reaching personal milestones like scoring a set number of goals or winning awards such as the Ballon d’Or or The Best FIFA Men’s Player will further boost his earnings.

Agent Frederico Pena, who also represents rising star Endrick, explained his preference for shorter-term contracts to allow players greater control over their careers. This approach is reflected in the three-year extension, bringing Vinicius’s contract to 2030.

The deal solidifies Vinicius’s position as a cornerstone of Real Madrid’s future alongside Mbappé and Jude Bellingham, forming a formidable attacking trio. The club reportedly rejected a massive $1.125 billion offer from Saudi Arabia for Vinicius, underscoring his importance to the team. Vinicius himself has consistently expressed his commitment to Real Madrid. His journey, from a modest first contract at age 17 to his current status as a top earner, exemplifies dedication and consistent high performance.
