Vinicius Junior Addresses Real Madrid Contract Talks

Ongoing Negotiations Amid First Offer Rejection

Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has confirmed that discussions over his contract renewal are ongoing, emphasizing his desire to remain at the club for the long term. Despite reports that he rejected Madrid’s initial offer, the Brazilian remains optimistic about reaching an agreement.

Key Role in Champions League Comeback

Vinicius spoke about his contract situation following Madrid’s dramatic Champions League victory over Manchester City. The forward, who endured jeers from the Etihad crowd and taunts regarding his Ballon d’Or loss to Rodri, played a crucial role by assisting Jude Bellingham’s last-minute winner.

Vinicius Expresses Loyalty to Real Madrid

In an interview with TNT Sports Brazil, Vinicius expressed excitement over his ongoing negotiations:

"It is always very exciting to have conversations with Real Madrid about my renewal. I have a contract until 2027, but I have always said I want to stay here for many more years and make history. The support from the fans, the president, the coaching staff, and my teammates has been incredible. God willing, we will finalize everything soon so I can stay even longer."

Al Hilal’s Interest and Uncertain Future

Vinicius is reportedly on the radar of Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, who are preparing a record-breaking bid. However, when asked about the speculation, the 24-year-old remained tight-lipped:

"I don’t know anything. Nobody has spoken to me. I need to talk to the president, and my hope is to stay here for a long time."

Madrid’s Stance on Vinicius’ Future

While Real Madrid are keen to keep Vinicius, reports suggest his contract situation has caused internal tensions. The club is determined to retain him but may not do so at any cost. With negotiations ongoing, all eyes are on whether the Brazilian will extend his stay or if outside interest could sway his future.
