'I'm very relaxed..' - Vinicius Junior discusses his future with Real Madrid despite Saudi interest

The future of Vinicius Junior, a striker for Real Madrid, has been the subject of much speculation. Since the Brazilian's contract with Real Madrid is set to end in 2027, there is a lot of discussion among supporters and analysts about the 24-year-old's potential departure from the Spanish capital. The Madrid winger may be enticed to leave Europe by a tempting offer from the Saudi Pro League, according to sources.

Prior to Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League Round of 16 matchup with their noisy neighbors, Atletico Madrid, Vinicius Junior addressed the allegations. His intention to remain in the royal white shirt was clearly apparent. For Vini, who hopes to sign a new contract with Real Madrid, becoming a footballer is a dream come true.

With a contract that expires in 2027, Vinicius Junior is eager to prolong his stay at the Santiago Bernabeu. “I'm very relaxed about it; I've got a contract until 2027, and I hope we can renew that shortly. I'm happy here and it's a dream come true to be playing alongside the best players, under the best manager, the best president, and for the best fans.”

I'm here to keep creating history - Vinicius Jr

Vinicius Jr. said he is happy to play for Real Madrid and hopes to contribute significantly to the team. "Where I am today is the best place for me to be." "I'm here to keep creating history." I wish to compensate the president and this club for everything they have given me. I hope I can continue to score goals and play more games while wearing this shirt," he remarked.

In addition to having previously won two Champions League medals, Vinicius Junior managed to score in both of his last appearances. Although it appears to have been postponed for the time being, Vini nearly won the Balon d'Or with the team. 

Vinicius Junior knows exactly what he wants—to rise to the status of a Real Madrid icon. On Tuesday, Madrid and Atletico Madrid squared off in a crucial Champions League matchup. If they want to advance, Vinicius must be at his peak. The winner of Real Madrid vs. Atletico will play either Arsenal or PSV Eindhoven.
