Vinicius: "I'm in no hurry to extend my contract with Real Madrid"

Vinicius Júnior, in an interview, indicated that he is in no hurry to extend his contract with Real Madrid, which runs until 2027. He emphasized his confidence in the club and his desire to stay with the team, and also discussed his relationship with Mbappé and Neymar's situation in the Brazil team.

Vinicius Júnior has spoken in an interview about his future at Real Madrid. The Brazilian player indicated that he feels comfortable with the club and that he is in no rush to extend his contract. "I have until 2027. We have a lot to discuss with Madrid, and Madrid also has a lot to discuss with us," said Vinicius. He emphasized the confidence that the chairman has in him and that he in turn also has confidence in the chairman.

Vinicius said he is thrilled to be part of Real Madrid and that it is a dream come true. "I never thought I would be away from Real Madrid. I enjoy every moment I am here because this is the club of my dreams. I have always dreamed of playing here and to be able to do so for so long is special. Now I am one of the captains of the team. Despite my young age, it is something important that is very rare in history. So I am enjoying every moment. I want to stay here all my life, but I am also in no rush to extend my contract."

Turning to last season, the second in a row without a title for Real Madrid, he noted: "We were seven points ahead at the beginning of the competition, but it is a long competition and Barcelona knows how to deal with the situation well. We have lost points in games that we should not have lost. Losing games at home... you lose those points, the distance grows and the other team gains confidence and you lose it. They are different years and we hope that the next season will be better than the two previous ones. These are my first two seasons without titles. Whenever I played for Real Madrid, I won a title every season. We have to come back and be champions. Real Madrid always comes back to the top."

Vinicius also touched on his relationship with Kylian Mbappe, stating that they get along well both on and off the pitch. "Whenever we can, we are together, also off the field, and we do things with friends. I have always had a good relationship with him. I sent him a lot of messages asking him to come and play with us. We have not been able to play the way we want, and win the titles that the fans want, but I believe we can turn that around in the near future. Mbappé is a great person, he always defends me in interviews, also in the match against Benfica in the issue of racism. He is a legendary player which will mark an era in Madrid."

In addition, Vinicius spoke about the Brazilian national team and Neymar, who is finally on Ancelotti's list and can play in the World Cup this summer, after previously not being selected. "I spoke to Neymar in all the selections and he always said: 'Boy, Ancelotti didn't take me again. I'm very sad.' But I replied that the trainer believes in him, and that he would be taken at the right time. And now is the right time. Ney is our idol, I have always had a lot of affection for him, he has always defended me and I followed him from the beginning of his career and I am happy for him. After all those injuries, after suffering so much, he can come back into the squad and get one last chance with a great group."

Finally toldVinicius over de zenuwen van Endrick, die zich afvroeg of hij de Wereldbeker zou spelen: "Hij vroeg me steeds of hij zou gaan, of hij niet zou gaan, wat ik ervan vond... Ik zei: 'Maak je geen zorgen, vriend. Je gaat, je zult daar bij ons zijn.' Hij is erg jong en het spelen van je eerste Wereldbeker op 19-jarige leeftijd is iets wat niet voor iedereen is weggelegd.
