Vinícius Jr faces Real Madrid exit as contract bonus row deepens

According to The Athletic, Real Madrid have no intention of including a signing bonus in Vinícius Júnior's next contract. The Madrid club are prepared to sell the 26-year-old Brazilian winger in August if he refuses to extend on current terms. The bonus issue remains a major point of disagreement between the two sides, with the existing deal running until 2027. Talks have dragged on for a while, and uncertainty is attracting attention from several top clubs, including Arsenal. Vinícius ended last season with 22 goals and 12 assists in 53 appearances across all competitions for Real Madrid.
