Vinicius Junior is set to commit his long-term future to Real Madrid by signing a new contract extension until 2030, according to reports from Marca. The Brazilian star’s current deal runs until 2027, but Real Madrid are moving quickly to secure his services amid ongoing transfer interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.

The 24-year-old forward has received lucrative offers from Saudi teams, yet he has remained loyal to Los Blancos. Vinicius has consistently reiterated his desire to continue playing at the Santiago Bernabéu, where he is seen as a key pillar of the club’s future.

Real Madrid transfer news indicates that the new contract could be finalized before the end of the 2024/25 season, with the club eager to fend off any further Saudi interest in Vinicius Junior.

Coming off a standout 2023/24 campaign in which he helped Real Madrid lift both the Champions League and La Liga titles, Vinicius has continued to shine this season. Partnering with Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo, he has recorded 20 goals and 14 assists across all competitions.

However, despite his domestic form, Vinicius struggled in the Champions League quarter-finals, where Real Madrid were eliminated by Arsenal. Now, the focus shifts to the Copa del Rey final against arch-rivals Barcelona, where Vinicius will look to inspire his team once again.

In La Liga, Real Madrid trail Barcelona by seven points but have the opportunity to close the gap to four with a win against Getafe in tonight’s fixture. The upcoming matches will be critical in the La Liga title race.

Veteran midfielder Luka Modric is also expected to extend his stay at Real Madrid, signing a one-year deal after an impressive season. Meanwhile, reports suggest that manager Carlo Ancelotti will depart in the summer, with Bayer Leverkusen boss Xabi Alonso emerging as the leading candidate to replace him.

As the club prepares for a pivotal stretch of the season, locking down stars like Vinicius Junior highlights Real Madrid’s intent to build a formidable squad for years to come.
