Mourinho personally urges Vinicius Jr. to sign new Real Madrid contract

Jose Mourinho has taken a direct role in the contract talks for Vinicius Jr., stressing the winger’s importance to Real Madrid’s future. The club responded with a raised offer that reportedly impressed the player, and Mourinho conveyed to both sides that the forward must stay. Sources say the Brazilian’s representatives are now more confident that a mutually satisfactory deal can be reached.

Vinicius Jr. has returned to training under Mourinho, aiming to improve his contributions after a below-expected season. Alongside new signing Yan Diomande and Kylian Mbappe, the trio is expected to form a potent attacking line-up next campaign.
