Vinícius Announces His Future Amid Saudi Arabia Rumors: 'it Ends Soon...'

The Brazilian footballer has given a new interview before the first 'Euroclassic' of the round of 16.

Real Madrid is already counting the hours to face Atlético de Madrid in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. This crucial double match for the course of the 24/25 season has put several names in the spotlight, including Vinícius Jr. The Brazilian striker has a new opportunity to prove that he is one of the best players in the world.

Meanwhile, many will be watching his performance in this double "Euroclassic" considering the constant approaches coming from Saudi Arabia. What seemed to be of little concern in the Valdebebas offices in the summer of 2024 turned into a significant saga by October of last year.

The defeat in the Ballon d'Or of the Madrid striker, at the hands of Rodrigo Hernández, would have intensified the operations of several Saudi Pro League teams to sign him immediately. In response to these ongoing rumors, Real Madrid has offered a response as forceful as it is unchanging: the release clause is the only way to take Vinícius out of the white club.

Especially if his main offers aspire to sign him before the summer of 2027, when his current contract with the Madrid entity ends. The existence of that exit barrier set at 1 billion euros gives a certain advantage to the executives led by Florentino Pérez, who would sponsor an immediate renewal of the South American footballer.

Personal Vision

The goal in the noble area of Santiago Bernabéu is to end this saga as soon as possible. "I think all this can end soon", Vinícius stated in his latest interview for TNT Sports Brazil. "I have a contract until the summer of 2027", the verdeamarelo striker recalls, "I have a lot of time, we don't need to do things quickly, with calm".

He would also have revealed what is the current position of Real Madrid in this saga... beyond the one closely related to possible moves leading to his departure from the Madrid locker room. "The president trusts me and I trust him, I trust everyone in this club who helped me so much and did everything for me", he recalls.

That's why he is clear that "I'm here to do everything for them". Vinícius has made the message about his renewal very clear after the latest reports about his departure to Saudi Arabia. Media like The Telegraph mentioned a 240 million euro offer for him, money that Real Madrid was not willing to accept under any circumstances.

Especially because it would have the "complicity" of the footballer when negotiating a possible renewal. Vinícius, again for his country's television, has taken another step in the saga that his possible continuity in the white locker room has become.
