Vinicius Junior offers fresh Real Madrid contract update
Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior has reiterated his desire to stay at the club beyond his current contract in the Spanish capital.
The Brazil international remains consistently linked with a possible move to the Middle East despite his massive importance to Real Madrid.

Xabi Alonso will be counting on him as a vital part of his Los Blancos project moving forward but a firm commitment on a contract extension remains unclear.
The financial muscle of the Saudi Pro League means they will remain on Vinicius' trail in the coming months with renewal talks set to restart in July.
Vinicius Junior's Real Madrid contract update
His current deal in the Spanish capital runs until 2027, with Real Madrid pushing to extend that until 2030, but no firm progress has been made at this stage.
Saudi clubs are on alert over the situation, as Real Madrid seek to avoid him slipping into the final 12-18 months of his contract at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

The 24-year-old offered a brief update on the talks and confirmed his first choice is to stay.
'I hope I can stay here for many years. I've always said it's the club of my life. I'm very happy with the coach and the technical staff, I hope I can stay,' as per Mundo Deportivo.
'I have a two year contract until 2027. I want to stay for my entire career and make history with this team.'
Vini to Saudi in 2025: Can it happen?
Previous reports from Fichajes.net claimed Saudi state support would back an offer in excess of €250m.
That would break new transfer ground and give Real Madrid something to think about.
The club have always worked towards the idea of keeping their No.7, but the incredible sums being mentioned will give Florentino Perez a dilemma, if all parties fail to agree on his next career step this summer.

Rumor: Steelers offered Watt new deal — but not Myles Garrett money
T.J. Watt's contract dilemma just took another unexpected turn, as longtime sportswriter Mark Kaboly reported that the belief is the Steelers have presented a contract offer to Watt — just not one that he'd sign. Kaboly recently explained on his podcast with co-host Chris Mack what he believes the holdup might be: Advertisement "I'm under the belief that there is a contract offer on the table right now — which is pretty significant. However, it's probably not what [Watt] thinks it is." Mack clarified that the deal isn't "Garrett money," to which Kaboly responded: "Yes. I'm not one hundred percent sure on that, but it's not like they're offering him, you know, $15 million and 'Hey, you're playing for the Steelers, so take it right now.' There is an offer on the table." It was previously rumored that Watt was seeking to surpass Garrett's $123.5 million in guaranteed money. This is no easy feat to accomplish, as the Browns edge rusher more than reset the market — he practically destroyed it.

Steelers, T.J. Watt receive contract update — and it could be bad news for Myles Garrett
T.J. Watt may soon become the NFL's highest-paid defender — at least that's what insider James Palmer is hearing. On Wednesday, Palmer provided an update on Watt's contract negotiations with the Steelers — and it could spell bad news for Myles Garrett's historic four-year, $160 million deal (courtesy of Bleacher Report): Advertisement "I'm hearing there's a chance Watt gets past [$40 million]," Palmer said. "Which is something we're really keeping an eye on, right? If he gets that $40 million a year, at the age he is at, he has every right to ask for it. I've talked on here a lot about the comparison between him and Myles Garrett. The numbers are almost identical in every aspect. … [Watt] has the right to try and get that." It's been speculated that Watt is seeking to surpass Garrett's guaranteed money of $123.5 million, but if the Steelers defender can usurp the throne for highest-paid defender as well, it's just another feather in his cap over the Browns defensive end.
