Club Aims to Cement Vinicius as Key Leader Following Ballon d’Or Snub and Barcelona Defeat
Days after Vinicius Junior was left out of the Ballon d’Or race, Real Madrid is moving swiftly to secure the Brazilian star’s long-term future. The decision follows recent controversies, including Real Madrid’s absence from the Paris awards ceremony and their 4-0 El Clasico defeat to Barcelona. Vinicius’ explosive form with the club, highlighted by eight goals and seven assists in 15 games this season, is set to earn him a major contract extension, according to Revelo.
The plan to renew Vinicius’ contract has been in the works for some time, with Real Madrid keen to recognize his growing role within the team. Club leadership views him as a future leader, particularly after adding high-profile players like Kylian Mbappé this summer. Despite ongoing discussions, Vinicius has chosen to wait for the “right moment” to formalize talks.
Although his current contract runs until 2027, Real Madrid may face challenges in securing the star’s future. Saudi Pro League clubs have reportedly expressed interest, with a staggering €1 billion offer over five years potentially on the table in 2025. Despite the allure of such an offer, Vinicius has often voiced his loyalty to Real Madrid, previously stating, “I want to be here forever and do many things for this club that has given me everything.”
Real Madrid’s commitment to Vinicius highlights the club’s focus on solidifying its lineup as they move forward into a new era with a strong core of emerging talents.
