Real Madrid set to make ex-Flamengo's Vini Jr Spain's top earner | OneFootball

Flamengo sold Vini Jr while the Ninho do Urubu academy product was still in the youth ranks

Vini Jr is about to reach a new level in Spanish football. That’s because the player who came through at Flamengo will become the highest-paid player in LaLiga. Starting next season, Real Madrid (ESP) will pay the athlete R$ 107.8 million per year.

Currently, Vinicius earns approximately 2.67 million euros gross per month (equivalent to R$ 16 million). The amount is the same as Mbappé’s, and both hold the spot as the highest earners in La Liga. The information comes from French outlet L’Équipe.

So how will Vini earn more?

The contract renewal of the former Flamengo player gives the forward a salary increase of 2 million euros (R$ 11 million) per year. Therefore, starting from the 2026/27 season, the Merengue club will pay 18 million net, that is, R$ 107.8 million annually.

How long does Vini’s contract with Real run?

Despite the salary increase, the Ninho academy product is nearing the end of his deal with Real Madrid. That’s because the contract expires at the end of next season. So far, neither side has brought up the subject of a renewal.

When did Flamengo sell Vini?

Flamengo sold Vinicius Júnior to Real Madrid in May 2017, when the winger was still part of the youth setup. The deal brought in 45 million euros (R$ 164 million) for Mais Querido.
