Ranking the 12 players with the highest buyout clauses in world football currently

#8 Vinicius Jr. (Real Madrid) - €700 million

Vinicius Jr. has had a good start to his 2020-21 campaign.

Vinicius Jr. has one of the highest buyout clauses of any player in the game at the moment.

Just eight games into the season, the 21-year-old winger has made a rousing start, scoring five times to propel Real Madrid to the top of the La Liga table. The Brazilian had previously scored only 14 times in over 100 games for the club since arriving from Flamengo in 2018.

He might be one of the lowest-paid Real Madrid players. But the club has no intention of letting go of the young Brazilian, who already has a reported buyout clause of €700 million in his current contract.

According to reports, Vinicius Jr. could soon sign a new deal with Real Madrid that would keep him at the club until 2024.
