Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr has reaffirmed his commitment to the club, expressing his desire to extend his contract as soon as possible while dismissing speculation about a potential move to the Saudi Pro League. The Brazilian forward, who joined Los Blancos in 2018, has been a key figure in their success, winning three LaLiga titles, two Champions League trophies, and two Club World Cups. Over the weekend, he marked his 300th appearance for the club in their 2-1 defeat against Real Betis, taking his goal tally to 102 across all competitions. Speaking ahead of Real Madrid’s Champions League round-of-16 clash with Atletico Madrid, Vinicius made his intentions clear. "I am very calm because my contract lasts until 2027, and I hope to renew it as soon as possible because I am happy here," he said in Monday’s press conference.

Reports last month suggested that Real Madrid were close to finalizing a contract extension with the 24-year-old. Vinicius emphasized his love for the club and the special environment he enjoys at Madrid. "I am living the dream of playing with the best players, the best coach, the best president, and the best fans. Everyone here loves me so much. I couldn't be in a better place," he added. The 2024 FIFA Men’s Player of the Year also reflected on his journey and ambitions at the club. "It was my childhood dream to succeed at Real Madrid. Now, I am writing my story. I have won a lot, but I can still achieve much more and cement my place in the club’s history," Vinicius said. "Many legends have played here, and I want to be just like them." With his future firmly set on making history at Real Madrid, Vinicius remains a crucial part of the club’s ambitions in both domestic and European competitions.
