Vinicius Junior is close to announcing his decision in the midst of rumors about a mega money transfer from Real Madrid to the Saudi Pro League, with a new contract also on the table
Vinicius Junior is ready to sign a new contract with Real Madrid to finally bring a speculation of a record transfer to Saudi Arabia to bed. Vinicius had been the subject of a rumor £ 200 million moving to the middle, but the Brazilian attacker now seems to bind his future to Los Blancos.
The 24-year-old attacker has settled as one of the best players in the world by taking 105 goals and 79 assists since he came to Real van Flamengo. His talent and Star Power had made him a target of the Saudi Pro League, with a five -year -old deal with a value of £ 830 million in which he would become an ambassador for the World Cup 2034 in the country.
Vinicius has always spoken about his desire to keep playing and hopefully etching his name in the history of the club, instead of following the will of Cristiano Ronaldo in moving to Saudi Aarabia. And now it seems as if he is about to get that promise well, with a contract extension beyond his current deal that will be in the making in June 2027.
Marca reports that an agreement is almost being completed and he will put pen on paper about a new deal that will run until 2030. The club and player are reportedly on the same page and it is now only a matter of time until a new contract is announced.
That information corresponds to what Vinicius has publicly said. “I am very calm because my contract lasts until 2027 and I hope to extend my contract as soon as possible because I am happy here,” he said last month.
“I live the dream of playing with the best players in the world, the best coach, the best president, the best fans. Here everyone loves me so. I couldn't be in a better place. My childhood dream was to make it here. Now I have succeeded in making it here, I write my story.
“I have won, but I can still win a lot more and get the history of the club. That is very complicated because many good players have been here, legends, and I want to be just like they are. I still experience incredible things with this shirt, fill my dreams and I hope we can continue like this.”
Real boss Carlo Ancelotti echoed his thoughts when he appealed to the subject in February. He said: “Yes, I am tired of this topic, but I am not worried. I see him happy and we are happy with him. There is nothing more to add with regard to what I said a week or two weeks ago.
“It is not a subject that we are discussing here. He [Vinicius] Don't discuss it. All I can tell you is what I see here, he is happy, enthusiastic to do things right and write history with the club. I see the same Vinicius as always, very much to do things right. “
