Real Madrid president ‘obsessed’ with the renewal of star attacker – Romano | OneFootball

The appointment of Alvaro Arbeloa has been a game-changer for Vinicius Jr., who has emerged as one of Real Madrid’s most impactful players in recent months.

The Brazilian international has started scoring again, most recently securing a brace in the win over Atletico Madrid while starring in the victory over Manchester City in the Champions League.

Thanks to his resurgence, Vinicius’ future at Real Madrid doesn’t look bleak at all, with the club keen on tying him down to a new contract.

Florentino Perez obsessed with Vinicius

According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is ‘obsessed’ with the idea of renewing the contract of Vinicius Jr.

Perez is a huge fan of the Brazilian and wants him to stay at the club beyond his current contract, which expires in the summer of 2027.

There was a phase earlier in the season where it looked like Vinicius Jr. would leave the club, especially after the poor experience he had with Xabi Alonso.

However, the situation has changed completely since, with Perez and Vinicius sharing a strong and healthy relationship.

Real Madrid, for their part, have always been keen on tying down the explosive attacker to a new contract and the talks are ongoing.

The Spanish giants do already have an offer on the table. It is now up to the two parties to negotiate the finer details and come to an agreement.

Vinicius’ lofty wage demands have been a problem for Los Blancos in the past. Whether or not those can be meted out on account of their improved relationship remains to be seen.
