Vinicius Junior Nears New Real Madrid Deal, Snubs Lucrative Saudi Interest

Vinicius Junior has revealed his intention to sign a fresh contract with Real Madrid at the earliest opportunity, stressing his lack of interest in a move to the Saudi Pro League despite the massive financial incentives on offer. This declaration follows reports that Saudi clubs were prepared to present a package approaching €1 billion over five years, which would position the Brazilian as one of football’s highest earners worldwide.

Since joining Real Madrid in 2018, Vinicius has made a steady ascent, surpassing the 50-goal mark across all competitions in the famous white shirt. He delivered a standout performance during the 2021-22 season by netting the winning goal in the Champions League final, earning the club its 14th European crown. Over the past two campaigns, he has amassed 20 assists and has been recognized among La Liga’s leading dribblers in the 2022-23 season, underlining his flair for taking on defenders.

In his latest comments, the 24-year-old forward highlighted his happiness at the Santiago Bernabeu, expressing gratitude for the unwavering support he receives from both the club and fans. He reiterated his ambition to secure more trophies for Los Blancos and solidify his place among the Bernabeu legends. Manager Carlo Ancelotti will likely lean on Vinicius’s attacking prowess in the forthcoming Champions League round of 16 clash against cross-town rivals Atlético Madrid, with the Spanish giants aiming to extend their continental dominance.
