With 101 goals for Real Madrid, Vinícius Junior has already carved his name into the club’s history, joining the ranks of players he deeply admires, such as Ronaldo Nazário and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Brazilian forward, now one of the team’s biggest stars, spoke about his ambitions and commitment to the club in an exclusive interview with Real Madrid TV.

Committed to Real Madrid for Many More Years

Amid speculation about interest from Saudi Arabia, Vinícius made it clear that his only focus is on continuing his career with Los Blancos:

🗣️ "Reaching 100 goals and making history with this club at 24 years old is very important for me and my family. I hope to stay here for many more years," he stated.

The Brazilian reminisced about his early days in Madrid, arriving as an 18-year-old with dreams of success. Now, at 24, he has become one of the best players in the world and is following in the footsteps of the club’s greatest legends.

Following the Path of Ronaldo and Cristiano

Vinícius acknowledged the difficulty of reaching such an elite milestone at a club where so many legends have left their mark:

🗣️ "I never imagined scoring so many goals in such a short time. Making history at this club is very difficult because so many legends have played here, scored many goals, and won so much. Being alongside them is a dream come true."

Among the 23 players who have surpassed the 100-goal mark for Real Madrid, Vinícius takes special inspiration from Ronaldo Nazário and Cristiano Ronaldo:

🗣️ "Ronaldo is my idol. He has always given me advice on how to improve my finishing. And Cristiano? He defined an era at this club. I hope to follow in their footsteps."

The challenge of chasing Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 451 goals is a huge motivation for Vinícius:

🗣️ "Cristiano scored 451 goals—more goals than matches played! I watched almost all of them growing up. He is an idol for me. It’s a long way to reach that number, but I hope to keep scoring and get as close as possible."
