Vinicius Junior, the Brazilian sensation making waves at Real Madrid since 2018, is on the brink of signing a new contract with Los Blancos. As he anticipates extending his stay in the Spanish capital, Vinicius has revealed a heartfelt promise he intends to keep: a return to his boyhood club, Flamengo, before concluding his footballing career.
Real Madrid, the Spanish giants, acquired Vinicius from Flamengo in 2017, a club with a special place in his heart. His current contract was set to expire at the end of the season, but Madrid is ready to offer him an enticing new deal, extending his tenure at the club. Despite the success he has enjoyed in Madrid, including winning two La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League, Vinicius remains steadfast in his commitment to fulfill a promise he made to his father.
“I think I could stay here my whole career, but the club of my life is Flamengo. I promised my father I would go back one day. I have to keep this promise,” Vinicius expressed in an interview with France Football.
The Brazilian player has fallen in love with life in Madrid, not only for his own success on the pitch but also for the happiness it brings to his family. The city recognizes his loved ones, and their encounters with fans are filled with well-wishes and joy. Vinicius has embraced this new chapter in his life, the unique fervor of Madrid, and the warm atmosphere it offers.
He went on to express his genuine appreciation for the club, stating, “Madrid is unique. Everyone around the world tells me about this club. And apart from that, I like it. I’m quite a homebody, but we do a lot of activities.”
As Vinicius gets ready to commit to a contract extension that will keep him at the Bernabeu until at least 2027, he is set to receive a significant pay raise. Though he has scored just twice this season, Real Madrid currently tops the La Liga standings.
