Premier League club hold talks for outrageous Vinicius Jr transfer this summer

Vinicius Jr could be on his way to the Premier League this summer after reports about the most recent developments on his future.

The Real Madrid star has been in contract talks with his club for a long period now without reaching a breakthrough.

The deal expires in 2027 but with a lack of movement in negotiations, it's reported that Manchester United are among those looking to capitalise on the situation by making a stunning move for Vinicius Jr.

According to TEAMTalk, Vinicius Jr's agents have contacted United and Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool regarding a possible summer switch for the 25-year-old.

In addition, his intermediaries have also sounded out European giants like Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich who could potentially afford the mammoth move, with Vinicius said to command a hefty salary of £500,000 per week.

While Vinicius is not desperate to leave the 15-time European champions, he is understood to be keeping all options regarding his future.

Vinicius Jr's Real Madrid contract demands revealed

Kylian Mbappe is Real's top earner after he joined on a free transfer in 2024 but Vinicius' camp are reportedly demanding a higher salary for his extension.

Back in November, The Athletic reported that Real offered a deal worth £17.5million per year during talks near the end of last season - increasing his annual wage by just short of £2 million.

His people were not satisfied with the proposal and then when Real asked them to suggest a number, it's claimed they requested £26 million.

That fee would represent the most expensive contract in Real's history - on par with what five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo earned in his final year before signing for Juventus.

The report added that Vinicius told Real he would not renew while Xabi Alonso was at the helm amid a strained relationship.

Real relieved the Spaniard of his duties and replaced him with fellow former player Alvaro Arbeloa.
