Brazil international of Cameroonian descent Vinicius Junior has announced long-term future at Real Madrid following a standout performance in the Champions League last night.
The 25-year-old, whose contract expires in summer 2027 has yet to sign a new deal for the Spanish giants, sparking controversies about future.
Following a standout display last night, the pacey Brazilian-Cameroon attacker has poured cold water on his future, stressing he wants to remain at Real Madrid for a long period, signaling readiness to renew his deal at the club.
“I want to stay at Real for a long time. My contract extension? I still have a year left. We are very relaxed about it. I trust the president, he trusts me, and we have a very good relationship. We’ll sort everything out at the right time. There’s no rush,” Vinicius said.
Previously, both parties attempted to reach an agreement on an extension, but negotiations stalled, with media reports suggesting a break in relationship with former coach Xabi Alonso as reason for delay in renewing his deal.
But following the departure of Alonso, the Brazilian attacker has emphasized his readiness to remain at the club for a longer period.
He was the main man when Real Madrid triumphed over Monaco 6-1 in the Champions League group phase clash on Tuesday. He scored a goal and assisted twice, earning him the Man of the Match award.
This season, Vinicius has played 30 matches for Real, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists.
