Real Madrid has a new financial king: Vinicius Junior. After winning the prestigious The Best trophy, the Brazilian striker benefits from a significant salary increase, propelling him to the rank of highest paid player at the club, even surpassing his teammate Kylian Mbappé.
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.
