Real Madrid megastar’s contract extension is ‘certain’ amid improving relationship | OneFootball

After a turbulent few weeks following El Clásico, calm has returned to the Santiago Bernabeu, at least when it comes to Vinicius Jr.

The Brazilian international had the worst possible start to the season, having often been ignored by coach Xabi Alonso.

Recent matches have made it clear that his understanding with manager Xabi Alonso is now “palpable,” burying the tension that arose from his gestures against Barcelona.

Since apologising, the Brazilian has become untouchable for the coach, and this renewed harmony is paving the way for a major long-term commitment.

Vinicius destined for a contract renewal

According to Diario AS, the Real Madrid hierarchy views Vinicius’s contract renewal as a “certainty.”

Although his current deal expires in a year and a half, the club have no intention of letting the clock tick down. The relationship between the player and President Florentino Perez is described as excellent, with constant communication between the two parties.

In these conversations, the groundwork for a new agreement to lock down the Brazilian’s future has already been discussed.

This comes on the back of Vinicius’ agent being seen at club offices recently, amid complications over a renewal.

The news also comes at a time when Vinicius navigates a tricky patch of form. During the recent match against Manchester City, the Brazilian heard disapproval from sections of the Bernabeu crowd.

However, neither the player nor the club is worried. Vinicius has confessed in the locker room that he hasn’t yet reached his full physical potential.

Vinicius remains calm, convinced that once his fitness peaks, the magic will return. With the full support of the board and a new contract on the horizon, his future in white looks more secure than ever.
