WHAT HAPPENED?
The forward is contracted to the La Liga champions until 2027 and is playing a key role in their efforts to defend both the La Liga title and the Champions League. Despite rumours linking him with a move to either PSG or a Saudi Pro League club, he believes a contract extension resolution at Real will be reached soon.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Vinicius has not had an easy ride at Real Madrid, targeted by racist abuse on several occasion and admitting last year that he felt "less and less like playing". There were some suggestions he may look to leave Real as a result but he has always been adamant he would like to remain with the club. He now appears set to extend his stay for a while longer.

WHAT VINICIUS SAID
Speaking after he won Man of the Match in Real's 3-2 Champions League round of 16 play-off first-leg victory at Manchester City on Tuesday, Vinicius told : "It's very exciting to have conversations with Real Madrid about my renewal. I have a contract until 2027, but I've always said that I want to continue playing here after so much time and making history. I've received the affection of the fans, the president, the coaching staff, all the players. My wish is to be here longer and God willing, in the next few days all the negotiations will be resolved to spend much more time here."

WHAT NEXT FOR VINICIUS AND REAL MADRID?
Vinicius' aim to make history with Real is certainly on track, with a repeat of their 2023-24 La Liga-Champions League double on the cards, as well as a Copa del Rey semi-final and this summer's Club World Cup. With Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham also in eye-catching form, Real's frontline is the envy of rivals across the continent.
