Real Madrid are close to reaching an agreement with Vinicius Jr on a new deal, MySportDab reports.
Vinicius Jr has contract with Los Blancos until 2027. However, his future at the club has been a subject of speculations amidst strong interest from Saudi Arabia.
Saudi outlets report that Al-Ittihad were ready for a record and irresistible offer to Real Madrid to secure the services of the top-rated Brazilian winger.
Meanwhile, uncertainties over his future with the La Liga and European champions soared following reports that he has turned down the club’s initial new contract proposal due to an unsatisfactory wage offer.
With Saudi clubs reckoning for his services and Real Madrid suffering setback on their push for a new deal, it was thought the Brazilian could be set for what would be another groundbreaking transfer move to Saudi Arabia.
Now, such transfer conjectures have been quashed following latest reports from the table of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
According to the Italian sports journalist, Real Madrid have broke even in their move to tie Vinicius Jr to a new deal.
The club have reportedly agreed on key details of the new contract and are now bargaining on the duration which could be four or five years.
Vinicius Jr has been key to Real Madrid’s recent successes both domestically and in Europe. Despite Real Madrid’s dwindling fortunes this season, the terrific winger has shone bright with spates of stellar performances.
He scored eight Champions League goals with two assists before Real Madrid crashed out of the competition. In La Liga, he has racked up 11 goals plus five assists in 26 appearances.
His new deal will be a big boost for Los Blancos as they push to turn a corner with a strong finish to the season after their underwhelming run.
