Vinícius Jr Clarifies His Future at Real Madrid

Following his MVP performance in the Champions League match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, Vinícius Jr addressed the media, discussing both the intense game and his much-speculated future. The Brazilian forward was unequivocal about his intentions.

Despite recent rumors, Vinícius Jr expressed his clear desire to continue with Real Madrid. He stated, “Discussions about my contract renewal with Real Madrid are always exciting. While my current contract runs until 2027, I’ve consistently expressed my wish to continue playing here and making history. I’ve received tremendous support from the fans, the president, coaching staff, and all my teammates. My desire is to stay here longer, and God willing, we’ll finalize the negotiations in the coming days to extend my time here significantly.”

Addressing recent speculation about potential offers from Saudi Arabia and PSG, Vinícius claimed to be unaware of such developments: “I don’t know anything about that. Nobody has spoken to me. I need to talk with the president, and I hope I can stay here for a long time. This competition gives us something extra, and I want to make history here.”

Reflecting on the match against Manchester City, Vinícius remained cautious despite the victory: “There’s still a lot to play for in the return leg. We need to defend as we did today and have our fans behind us to create a magical night.”

The Brazilian star also commented on the controversial tifo displayed by Manchester City fans, which some interpreted as a taunt directed at him. “I saw the banner, but when opposing fans do things like this, it only motivates me to play a great game, which I did tonight. They know our history and what we’ve achieved in this competition. It’s our fifth time here, it’s always very cold, but this time we won, and we need to continue in this vein.”
