“I hope to renew as soon as possible” – Vinicius Junior on Real Madrid future

Despite the continuous reports that a move to Saudi Arabia is on the table for Vinicius Junior, the Brazilian once again assured fans that he was set on continuing his career at the Santiago Bernabeu. Last month Vinicius and Real Madrid opened talks over a new deal, one that he ‘can’t wait’ to sign.

The Brazilian was clear that he felt that he was in the best place possible. Vinicius has now won the Champions League two of the last three years, scoring in both finals.

“I am very calm because I have a contract until 2027 and I hope I can renew it as soon as possible because I am happy here. Everyone loves me and likes me very much. I couldn’t be in a better place than here.”

However it has been reported that Vinicius’ demands for a new deal are a long way removed from what Real Madrid and President Florentino Perez are willing to offer him. Add in a meeting with Saudi officials to hear out their offer, a remarkable €1b deal for the player, it has been sufficient to spark uncertainty as negotiations with Los Blancos approach.

“I’m here to continue the story, everything that the president and the club have given me. I hope I can continue scoring more goals and playing more games with this shirt. I have won, but I can win much more and I can enter the history of this club with so many great players who are legends.”

“It will be a great match. A derby is a game that you wait for all season. And even more so in the #ChampionsLeague. I am excited to be able to play a great game like this. Tomorrow will be a great party for our fans and in the return leg it will be for their fans.”
