Vinicius Jr. Addresses Growing Speculation About Real Madrid Future Amid PSG, Saudi Arabia Rumors | OneFootball

The Athletic previously reported that Vinicius Jr.’s camp rejected Real Madrid’s initial offer as they aim to secure the Brazilian for the long term, especially with rising interest from Saudi Arabia. Now, Saudi Arabia is reportedly looking to take advantage of this opening.

Real Madrid began contract talks with Vinicius in mid-January to assess his demands, offering a salary increase through his representatives at Roc Nation. However, the first proposal was quickly turned down.

This development could have caught the attention of Paris Saint-Germain, who may be watching the situation closely. While PSG isn’t as in need of star power as in the past, having already invested heavily in big names, they might still act if the opportunity arises.

Journalist Sacha Tavolieri recently reported that Vinicius’ advisors have already had informal talks with PSG, who are monitoring the situation and could intervene if Real Madrid fails to meet his expectations.

Vinicius has confirmed he’s ready to sign a new contract with Real Madrid, emphasizing that he’s not interested in leaving the club despite recent reports suggesting otherwise.

“I am very calm because I have a contract until 2027 and I hope I can renew it as soon as possible because I am happy here,” Vinicius told reporters (h/t GOAL).

“Everyone loves me and likes me very much. I couldn’t be in a better place than here. I am here to continue the story, everything that the president and the club have given me.

“I hope I can continue scoring more goals and playing more games with this shirt. I have won, but I can win much more and I can go down in the history of this club with so many great players who are legends.”
