Vini Jr Reveals Stance On Future Amid Saudi Interest

Vini Jr Reveals Stance On Future Amid Saudi Interest

Vinicius Junior has revealed his stance on his future amid rumours of extension talks with Real Madrid and big-money interest from Saudi Arabia.

In recent weeks, speculation regarding a move to the oil-rich kingdom has intensified, with the Brazilian being touted as a major target for the Public Investment Fund.

The talk of a potential exit comes after the South American's representatives reportedly turned down a contract extension. 

It has been alleged that Middle Eastern clubs are willing to pay €1 billion (R19.5 billion) to make Vinicius Junior their latest marquee signing, but the 24-year-old has stated that he has no intention of making such a move and plans to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"I am very calm because I have a contract until 2027, and I hope I can renew it as soon as possible because I am happy here. Everyone loves me and likes me very much. I couldn't be in a better place than here."

"I'm here to continue the story, everything that the president and the club have given me. I hope I can continue scoring more goals and playing more games with this shirt. I have won, but I can win much more, and I can enter the history of this club alongside so many great players who are legends."

Although he has been forced to adapt his game due to the arrival of Kylian Mbappé and has dealt with persistent injuries this season, he has still managed to score 17 goals and provide 12 assists. However, the Sao Goncalo native believes he is in his best form.

"Right now, I am in my best form. I have had injuries. With so many games, you cannot be at 100% in all of them. Playing 80 games, you cannot always be at your best. You are not always in top form or physically fit. Many players are playing with discomfort.

"I think my season is going well. It is normal that people demand more from me and want more from me. But now, the decisive moment of the season has arrived, and at Madrid, we are playing better at this stage of the season."
