Real Madrid 'are yet to open contract talks with Vinicius Jr', with the youngster 'one of the five LOWEST-PAID players at the club'... despite hitting five goals in just seven games so far this season

Real Madrid are reportedly yet to open talks with the in-form Vinicius Jr over a contract extension, despite the forward being one of the five lowest earners at the club.

Vinicius joined Real from Brazilian side Flamengo in 2018 for £39.4million (46million Euros), becoming the second most expensive Brazilian player at the time, at the age of 18.

The Brazil international has made huge strides this season, scoring five La Liga goals in just seven appearances - his biggest haul for the club.
