Officially signed! Vinicius Junior is a Real Madrid player until 2032
The “Vinicius is leaving” campaign is now officially closed.
Details: Fabrizio Romano reports: Vinicius Junior has signed a new contract with Real Madrid, which will run until June 2032. The six-year agreement is confirmed— the Brazilian remains the face of the royal club for years to come.
The negotiation saga lasted almost two years: Vinicius’ previous contract was due to expire in the summer of 2027, and both sides couldn’t agree on the numbers for a long time— the club offered €22 million per year, while his agents demanded €30 million. The decisive breakthrough came this week after a face-to-face meeting between the player and the club’s management, and, according to Goal, Vinicius’ warm relationship with José Mourinho solidified Madrid’s candidacy in the Brazilian’s mind. Arsenal, who were seriously planning a move for the forward and even had Mikel Arteta personally involved in talks, were left empty-handed.
If Vinicius sees out his contract, he’ll have spent 14 years at Santiago Bernabéu, having joined Real from Flamengo as an 18-year-old back in 2018.
