Vinícius on Liverpool’s Radar
The 25-year-old Brazilian winger, whose contract with Real Madrid runs until mid-2027, has not yet signed an extension a situation that’s now attracting serious interest from Liverpool.

Mixed Season, Club World Cup Exit
While Vinícius remains one of the most marketable and talented players in world football, his 2024/25 season was not without criticism. Real Madrid suffered a shock 4-0 defeat to PSG in the Club World Cup semifinals, and the Brazilian managed just 1 goal and 1 assist across six tournament appearances.
Reports from Madrid suggest that new head coach Xabi Alonso is not fully convinced by Vinícius, especially after a sluggish start to pre-season preparations under the new regime.
Renewal Demands: Nearly R$200 Million per Year
Contract talks with Real Madrid are reportedly stalling due to salary demands. Vinícius is said to be asking for R$195 million per year, a figure that could make him one of the highest-paid footballers in Europe. So far, the Merengue board has not met his demands, opening the door to potential suitors.
