Through social media, the Spanish side confirmed the extension of the No. 7’s contract. “Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr. have agreed to extend our player’s contract, which will keep him tied to the club until June 30, 2032,” the club said.

Did Arsenal try to sign Vini Jr?

Arsenal (ENG) closely monitored the negotiations between Vini Jr and Real Madrid. That is because the English club was interested in signing the former Flamengo player during this transfer window. However, Mikel Arteta’s team did not submit an official offer to the Spanish club.

Knowing about Arsenal’s interest, Real Madrid moved quickly and renewed Vini Jr’s contract until the end of the 2031/32 season. It is worth noting that the No. 7’s previous deal with the Spanish side was valid until June 2027.

What are Vini Jr’s numbers for Real Madrid?

Vinicius Júnior arrived at Real Madrid in July 2018 after standing out at Flamengo. Since then, the Brazilian star has totaled 375 matches played, with 128 goals and 85 assists. In addition, the No. 7 has won 14 titles, including two Champions Leagues and three Club World Cups.

Did Flamengo lose money with Vini Jr’s renewal?

Flamengo was keeping a close eye on Vini Jr’s contract situation. After all, due to FIFA’s solidarity mechanism, Rubro-Negro is entitled to 5% of the value of any future transfer involving the player. In other words, in the event of a sale to Arsenal, Fla would receive part of the fee.

What is the article author’s opinion on Vini Jr’s renewal?

“Vini Jr made the right decision by renewing with Real Madrid. Arsenal is going through a period of growth in European football and finished as runner-up in the last Champions League edition, but there is no comparison between the English team and the Spanish club. With José Mourinho in charge, the hope is that Los Blancos will win titles again in the 2026/27 season,” said Davi Esteves, journalist for Coluna do Fla.
