“I am not in a rush to renew my contract,” the 25‑year‑old said. “I have a contract until 2027, so until then we have a great deal to discuss with Madrid, and Madrid has a great deal to discuss with us.”

“Real Madrid is calm, and I am calm. The president trusts me, and I trust him. That’s all there is to it; we just have to wait and live each day, each moment, and enjoy the best club in the world.”

Vinícius Jr has completed his eighth season at the Santiago Bernabéu, scoring 22 goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions as the club finished second in La Liga, eight points behind rivals Barcelona.
