They “snatched” two of their legends, but their key player stays at Santiago Bernabeu! Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema may have succumbed under the pressure of Saudi millions, but Vinicius Jr won’t!According to the exclusive information launched by the journalist Manu Carreno in his show El Larguero – which the Spanish renowned papers Diario As and Marca immediately published – the Brazilian will extend his current deal (expiring in 2027) for 2-3 additional years.🚨 JUST IN: Vinícius’ renewal is almost done, only thing left is to clarify whether it will be till June 2029 or June 2030 with an option to EXTEND. @FabrizioRomano pic.twitter.com/4ijrvp6qjf— Madrid Zone (@theMadridZone) April 23, 2025 The Saudis have been keen on bringing the forward for some time. Last October, when Vini lost the Ballon d’Or race to Rodri, they tried to exploit his anger and dissatisfaction and lure him with a lavish five-year deal offer worth a staggering €1 billion.However, the 24-year-old reportedly got a raise at Madrid, thanks to which Florentino Perez secured his stay. The upcoming extension will further prolong Vini’s time in the Spanish capital and keep the popular “Galacticos 2.0” together, as well as prove that they believe in the Brazilian at Santiago Bernabeu.Pressure? What pressure?Vinicius joined Los Blancos in 2018 from Flamengo for €45 million and has since won as many as 18 trophies, including two UEFA Champions Leagues. The Brazilian has made 311 appearances in the white jersey and scored 105 goals, 20 of which came this season.Vini will have a chance to further improve his goal tally tonight when Madrid face Getafe in a city derby (22.30)LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 33TuesdayValencia – Espanyol 1-1 (0-1)/Guerra 57 – Puado 40/Barcelona – Mallorca 1-0 (0-0)/Olmo 46/Wednesday20:00: (1.40) Ath.Bilbao (5.00) Las Palmas (8.50)20:00: (2.55) Celta (3.50) Villareal (2.85)22:30: (2.40) Alaves (3.10) Sociedad (3.20)22:30: (4.70) Getafe (3.50) Real Madrid (1.80)Thursday20:00: (2.75) Leganes (3.00) Girona (2.85)20:00: (2.50) Osasuna (3.15) Sevilla (3.00)22:30: (1.55) Atl.Madrid (3.90) Rayo Vallecano (6.75)22:30: (1.20) Betis (6.75) Valladolid (14.0)***odds are subject to change***
