Real Madrid extended Vinícius Júnior’s contract on Tuesday, tying the Brazilian forward to the club through the 2026-27 season. Vinícius’ original contract was set to expire at the end of this season. Madrid did not disclose financial details, but Spanish media said Vinícius is the team’s highest-paid player and has a buyout clause of 1 billion euros. ($1.06 billion).
“Probably, but not impossible,” the 23-year-old Vinícius said on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Thank you president, fans, teammates and everyone who works at Real Madrid. Thank you family and friends. In the club of my dreams until 2027, fighting for more titles together.”
At the signing, Vinícius stood with club president Florentino Pérez and showed off a Madrid jersey with the No. 2027 on him.
Vinícius arrived at the Spanish powerhouse in 2018 as an 18-year-old from Brazilian club Flamengo. Madrid paid almost 45 million euros, plus add-ons, to sign the talented forward who is now an established starter for both the Madrid and Brazil national teams.
In his six seasons with Madrid, Vinícius has made 235 appearances, scoring 63 goals and winning nine titles, including the Champions League and two Spanish leagues. He scored the winner in the Champions League final in Madrid’s 1-0 win over Liverpool in 2022. His other titles with the club include the Copa del Rey, two Spanish Super Cups and two Club World Cups.
Madrid said in a statement that Vinícius is already one of the “most influential players at the club in recent years”.
There were early doubts as he showed signs of his talent but struggled to contribute. He was known for his misses in front of goal and his speed and good dribbles in front of defenders.
The forward has steadily improved and is now a scoring threat and a versatile player in coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
Vinícius was targeted with racial abuse last season and received widespread support across the soccer world after the incident in Valencia, prompting a series of actions by the Spanish authorities to improve the fight against racism in the country.
Vinícius won the humanitarian award on Monday named after Brazilian midfielder Socrates for his involvement in the foundation set up by the Madrid player for underprivileged children.
