Vinicious Jr is the player that everybody at Real Madrid hoped he would become when they signed him for big money as a teenager, as he arrived from Flamengo in 2018 for a fee of 45 million euros (49.5 million dollars), which raised eyebrows across Europe and South America.
In 2021/22, Vinicius has formed an incredible on-field relationship with Karim Benzema, and the Brazilian and Frenchman between them have carried Los Blancos to the Champions League semi-finals and allowed them to have a comfortable lead at the top of LaLiga Santander, with the title almost secured.
Since joining Real Madrid, Vinicius has made 161 appearances in all competitions as of April 17, 2022 and has scored 31 goals while also providing 40 assists. Of those 31 goals, 17 have come in 2021/22, showing how far he has progressed this season. He has also given 17 of his 40 assists this season.
What is Vinicius' salary?
According to networthspot.com, Vinicius' YouTube channel, set up in 2019, has net worth of about 221,450 dollars, earning him over 55,000 dollars a year.
Considering his football income, his primary earnings, Vinicius' current Real Madrid contract sees him paid around 270,000 euros per week. That equates to approximately 292,000 dollars per week.
With his contract set to expire at the end of the 2023/24 season, Vinicius is expected to pen a new deal at Real Madrid. His new deal could see him paid between 300,000 to 350,000 euros per week - which is between 325,000 to 378,000 dollars, roughly.
Vinicius' new contracted is expected to put him firmly among the club's top earners, though he'll still be paid less than potential new signing Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, should the Norwegian follow the Frenchman's expected arrival at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu this coming summer.
