Vinicius Junior Signs New Contract With Real Madrid

Brazilian fast-rising football superstar, Vinicius Junior has signed a new contract with Real Madrid which will keep him at the club until June 30, 2027.

Vinicius Junior signed the new contract earlier today, October 31, hours after winning the Socrates Award on Monday, October 30, at the 2023 Ballon d’Or which Argentina’s Lionel Messi won.

Apart from winning the Socrates Award, the 23-year-old Brazilian winger finished as the 6th best player in the world at the Ballon d’Or.

Recall that Vinicius moved to Real Madrid from Brazilian club, Flamengo in 2018, when he was 18 years old. The Spanish giants paid a transfer fee worth £38 million for his services.

With Real Madrid, the 23-year-old Brazilian international has scored 64 goals in 248 games and won nine trophies, including the 2022 Champions League.

Also, Vinicius has helped Madrid to win two Spanish Super Cups, two Club World Cups, the Copa Del Rey, and the European Super Cup.

Outside football, Vinicius Junior has established a foundation that provides funding and builds schools in Brazil’s impoverished areas, an act of kindness that earned him the Socrates Award at the 2023 Ballon d’Or.

After extending his contract with Real Madrid, the Brazilian skillful winger said, “Hello Madrid fans, I am very happy to renew my contract. It is a dream for me.

“I hope I can continue here for many years, scoring many goals and winning many titles. Thank you very much for the love. Hala Madrid!”
