Vinicius Jr. has long been one of the hottest topics in Madrid, but Real Madrid and the Brazilian star have put an end to doubts about his future by making his contract renewal official. In a statement released, Real Madrid announced the renewal of Vinicius Jr. until 2032, a new 6-year contract that puts an end to one of the most talked-about soap operas in recent years.
This summer, Vinicius' name was closely linked with a possible transfer to Arsenal, but the Gunners remain dry. The decisive factor in this contract renewal was the significant improvement in salary, but also the Jose Mourinho effect, with the latter pushing the club to shield Vinicius, considering him an essential part of his project.
Vinicius Jr's contract renewal came on the same day Real Madrid made their record signing, Yann Diomande, official. The Ivory Coast striker cost president Perez 140 million euros, 125 million euros in cash plus another 15 million euros in bonuses. Diomande signed a contract until June 30, 2033.
