Vinicius Jr is expected to sign a lucrative Real Madrid contract that includes an eye-watering 'anti-club-state' clause that will prevent PSG and Newcastle from signing him.
Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid is poised to be offered a massive new contract that contains a massive "anti-state clause."
The clause is supposed to be a ruse to keep him from being snatched up by mega-rich teams like Newcastle and PSG.
The 21-year-old Brazilian attacker had a fantastic season for Carlo Ancelotti's team, scoring 22 goals and assisting 20 times in 52 appearances.
He played a key role in Real Madrid's reclaim of the LaLiga title with several games to spare.
He also played a crucial role in the club's 14th European title, scoring the game's only goal against Liverpool in the final.
According to Marca, Vinicius is expected to be rewarded for his achievements with a new contract.
It is expected that the player and the club will reach an agreement soon, and that a formal announcement will be made in July.
The deal's length is the ultimate stumbling barrier.
Vinicius' current deal is set to expire in 2024, but Madrid is hoping to extend it until 2028.
However, the South American, whose annual salary will more than double from £2.77 million to £8.67 million, would for it to last until 2026 or 2027.
The release clause, though, is the most intriguing aspect of the new contract.
Vinicius already has a £300 million release clause, but it is poised to be extended to £870 million.
This is being nicknamed the "anti-state clause" because it will be used to try to prevent teams like Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle United, which are both sponsored by Qatar and Saudi Arabia, from signing him.
Vinicius joined Real Madrid for £38 million from Flamengo in 2018 and has now made 170 appearances for the club.
