Vinicius Junior set to sign new Real Madrid deal until 2030 amid Saudi interest | OneFootball

Real Madrid are working towards finalising the contract extension of Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior to ward off suitors from the Saudi Pro League.

Marca claims Vinicius will sign a new three-year deal until 2030 before the end of the season.

The mercurial winger has received exorbitant offers from Saudi clubs, but he has repeatedly emphasised his commitment to Los Blancos.

The Spanish giants view Vinicius as an important member of the team for the foreseeable future, with the Brazilian scaling new heights with each passing season.

The 24-year-old enjoyed a stellar 2023/24 campaign, leading Carlo Ancelotti’s side to the La Liga and Champions League titles.

He was considered the front-runner to win the Ballon d’Or award before losing out to Manchester City midfielder Rodri.

Forming a fearsome front-three with Kylian Mbappe and Rodrygo, Vinicius has carried on his fine form this season, bagging 20 goals and 14 assists in all competitions.

However, he failed to make an impact in the Champions League as Madrid crashed out in the quarter-finals against Arsenal.

Vinicius will look to inspire Los Blancos in the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona this week.

His form is also crucial in La Liga, as Madrid trail Barca by seven points in the title race.

Veteran midfielder Luka Modric is also poised to sign a one-year extension following his impressive performances this season.

However, Ancelotti will not remain in charge at Madrid beyond the summer.

They have identified Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso as the top candidate for the managerial position.

Madrid can reduce the gap to four points with Barca when they visit Getafe tonight.
