Vinícius Junior has allayed Real Madrid supporters’ concerns about his career at the team. Notwithstanding rumors of blocked contract talks, the Brazilian striker verified his dedication.
Vinícius wishes to stay with Real Madrid.
Vinícius spoke on the ongoing negotiations at a recent press event ahead of the Champions League match with Atlético Madrid. He said he loves the club and is eager to renew his contract shortly.
“I am very calm because I have a contract until 2027 and I hope we can renew it as soon as possible because I am happy here,” Vinícius said. “I am fulfilling a dream: I am with the best players, the best manager, the best president, and the best fans. Everyone loves me and I couldn’t be in a better place than here.”
Contract Negotiations Still Ongoing
The Athletic reports that Real Madrid and Vinícius’ agents have not yet negotiated a contract extension. The player’s camp is said to have demanded a large pay raise that the club has not yet granted.
The delay raised questions about his future, with gossip tying him toward a Madrid exit. Some reports even implied that teams from Saudi Arabia were eyeing the Brazilian sensation.

Although unsure, Vinícius is still concentrating on his Real Madrid job. Lately, he got to wear the captain’s armband for the first time, a moment he said was noteworthy.
“I want to make history at Real Madrid and reach 500 games for the club,” he said. “It is an inexplicable feeling to be captain of the best club in the world for the first time at the age of 24.”
A Key Player for Real Madrid
Vinícius has become one of the most crucial players for the team since he started with Real Madrid in 2018. He was instrumental last season in the final victory of the club on the UEFA Champions League by taking down Borussia Dortmund.
