Brazil forward Vinicius Jr has affirmed his happiness at Real Madrid, eager to extend his contract with the LaLiga club soon, dismissing rumors of a Saudi Pro League move. Since joining in 2018, he’s won three Spanish titles, two Champions Leagues, and two Club World Cups, scoring 102 goals in 300 appearances—his latest in Saturday’s 2-1 loss at Real Betis.

Squashing Speculation

Despite talk of a €300 million Saudi offer, Vinicius, post-Betis, said, “I’m happy here. Real Madrid is my home, and I want to sign a new deal soon.” His contract lasts until 2027, but the 24-year-old’s commitment is clear. Rodrygo added, “Vini’s all about Real.” In 2024-25, he’s notched 8 goals and 7 assists in 18 LaLiga games, keeping Real atop the table.

Key Contributions and Next Steps

Vinicius’s pledge bolsters Real as they chase another LaLiga crown and face Osasuna on March 9, plus Manchester City in the Champions League quarters in April. Coach Ancelotti recently hailed his drive, while Nacho said, “He’s ours for the long haul.” Contract talks, underway since January, could wrap up by summer, securing a star whose flair—evident in his 2024 Ballon d’Or runner-up finish—promises more silverware.
