Amid one of his lowest form moments since he broke out in 2021 with the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti at the Santiago Bernabéu, it seemed like Vinícius's renewal with Real Madrid was at a standstill... until the latest update from Manu Carreño, host of ‘El Larguero’, stating imminent news about Vinícius's future.

Vinícius Swore His Love for Real Madrid

Before the first-leg match against Atlético de Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League, Vinícius made what could be described as a vow of love towards Real Madrid: “I’m very calm because I have a contract until 2027, and I hope I can renew as soon as possible. I’m happy here, where I can play with the best players, the best coach, and the best fans. People here love me a lot, and I couldn’t be in a better place.”

Since then, the mystery surrounding Vinícius's renewal with Real Madrid has been absolute… while the Saudi Pro League has continued to work in the shadows to try to convince Vinícius and strike what could be considered a fatal blow to the 'status quo' established in the European football transfer market.

“He’s Closer to Renewing than Leaving the Club”

Vinícius's current contract with Real Madrid expires in 2027. Therefore, the alarms haven’t gone off yet, and it seems that both sides had agreed to postpone their scheduled meeting until the end of the season. However, as announced by Manu Carreño on El Larguero, it may be that those talks have already been in progress for several weeks with the goal of closing this chapter as soon as possible.

“The five years offered by Arabia don’t quite convince him. The talks to renew with Real Madrid are going well. Right now, he’s closer to renewing than leaving the club,” said Manu Carreño on ‘El Larguero’. In any case, given how Real Madrid handles these kinds of situations, it’s possible that the official announcement of the agreement will come sometime after Vinícius signs his new contract with Real Madrid.
