Vinicius Jr renews Real Madrid contract until 2032
Madrid, Aug 7
Vinicius Jr has signed a contract extension with Real Madrid that will keep him at the club through June 2032, the La Liga club said.
"Real Madrid C. F. and Vinicius Jr. have agreed on the extension of our player's contract, which links him to the club until June 30, 2032," the club said in a statement.
The extension ended months of speculation over Vinicius' future. Spanish media had linked the 26-year-old with a possible move away from Madrid, with reports of interest from Premier League champion Arsenal.
Vinicius is expected to remain a key part of Madrid's attack alongside Kylian Mbappe, Bernardo Silva and Diomande as the club prepares for the new season. However, the strengthened forward line could increase speculation over the futures of Endrick and Brahim Diaz before the transfer window closes.
The Brazil forward joined Real Madrid in July 2018 at the age of 18. In his eight seasons wearing our jersey, he has played 375 matches, scored 128 goals, and won 14 titles: 2 Champions League, 3 Club World Cups, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 3 LaLiga titles, 1 Copa del Rey, and 3 Spanish Super Cups.
His contribution to all these titles has been pivotal due to his gameplay, assists, and goals, including those scored in the last two Champions League finals won by Real Madrid: the Fourteenth (Paris, 2022) and the Fifteenth (London, 2024).
During this period with Real Madrid, Vinicius won The Best FIFA Men's Player Award 2024, was named the Golden Ball of the Intercontinental Cup 2024, Best Player of the Champions League 2023-2024, Golden Ball of the Club World Cup 2022, and Best Young Player of the Champions League 2021-2022.
Additionally, he was included in the FIFA World XI (2024), twice in the FIFA FIFPro World11 (2023 and 2024), and three times in the Champions League Team of the Season (2021-2022, 2022-2023, and 2023-2024).

Amazing player, but 2032 is a long time. I just hope he stays injury-free and keeps his form. The La Liga titles and Champions League wins have been great to watch. As an Indian fan, I wake up early to catch these matches—worth every minute!
Now that's how you secure your future. Vini Jr is a generational talent. The way he tore apart defences in the Champions League finals was unreal. Real Madrid's scouting continues to be top-notch. Hopefully, Endrick gets more chances too.
Honestly, I wish he would have come to the Premier League—it would've been fun to see him against Arsenal. But you can't fault him for staying at the biggest club in the world. All the best, Vini! 🏆
Great move by the club. Vinicius is a match-winner and a true superstar. But I hope this doesn't lead to Benze– I mean, the management forgetting about Diaz or Endrick. Football is about squad depth, so let's see how Ancelotti manages them all. 😅
Real Madrid knows how to keep their stars. Vini will be 34 in 2032, so this could be his last big contract. With the new generation like Bellingham and Mbappe around, this is a dream lineup. Can't wait for the new season to begin! Hala Madrid!
