According to newspaper information Acethe contract signed by Vinicius Junior in 2022 contained a special clause linked to his individual performances. By winning The Best trophy, his annual salary increases from 15 million to 20 million euros for the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 seasons.
Spectacular revaluation for Vinicius
This increase consolidates his status as an essential star at Real Madrid, where he has already scored 13 goals and offered 9 assists in 20 matches this season.
But that’s not all: a new victory at the Ballon d’Or or The Best could still guarantee him a salary increase, strengthening his position as one of the highest paid players in the world.
