Real Madrid are set to restart talks over a new contract for Vinicius Jr following the club’s decision to sack an unpopular manager, with the Brazilian again viewed as a key part of their long-term plans.
Negotiations had been put on hold, but Madrid now intend to reopen discussions with Vinicius’ camp as they look to secure his future at the Santiago Bernabeu. The 23-year-old remains one of the team’s leading figures and the club want clarity on an extension.
The development comes amid ongoing changes behind the scenes, with the club having moved on from a coach who was not widely backed. That decision has helped clear the way for contract talks to resume.
Madrid have also been linked with Xabi Alonso, but the situation around the former midfielder is not expected to affect the club’s approach with Vinicius. The message from the Bernabeu is that there is “no problem” on that front, and that the focus is now on progressing negotiations and keeping the forward in Madrid.
Vinicius has been a central figure for Los Blancos in recent seasons, and the club’s renewed push to extend his deal underlines how highly they rate him. Talks are expected to restart soon as Madrid try to finalise an agreement.
