Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior has reaffirmed his commitment to the Spanish giants, dismissing speculation linking him to a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League.
The 24-year-old Brazilian forward, who has been instrumental in Real Madrid’s success this season with 16 goals and 11 assists in 30 appearances, revealed his desire to sign a new long-term contract at the Bernabeu.
“God willing, the negotiations will be resolved in the next few days, and I will be able to stay here for much longer,” Vinicius Junior told TNT Sports.
Rejecting Saudi Pro League Advances
Vinicius Junior’s declaration comes amid reports suggesting Al-Hilal and Al-Ahli were preparing a staggering €300m (£251m) offer to Real Madrid, with the player himself set to receive an eye-watering €200m (£167.6m) per season on a five-year deal.

Ancelotti Praises Vinicius Junior’s Performance
Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Vinicius Junior’s performance in the 3-2 win over Manchester City in the Champions League knockout round playoff, saying: “The team delivered a well-rehearsed defensive display.
This was the first leg, and it was very different from last year’s game because we had more control and more of a threat going forward.”
Real Madrid will look to build on their advantage when they host Manchester City in the second leg next week.
