Real Madrid have put a new contract offer on the table for Vinícius Júnior, according to sources who spoke with ESPN. The improved deal is worth 22 million euros per year.
The offer comes after talks between the club and the Brazilian forward had gone quiet for nearly a year. Negotiations resumed following the conclusion of the World Cup.
Vinícius has been one of the most prominent forwards in world soccer and has played a central role in Real Madrid's attack in recent seasons. The club's decision to return to the negotiating table with an upgraded offer reflects his standing within the organization.
ESPN reported that sources confirmed the offer, though no agreement has been announced. The status of the negotiations beyond the new proposal was not immediately clear.
