Vinicius Junior makes final decision on Saudi Arabia transfer as Real Madrid prepare huge announcement

Copa del Rey

Barcelona

Real Madrid

<p>It has been reported that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/vinicius-jr-close-signing-real-madrid-contract-despite-incredible-billion-offer-saudi-arabia-brazilian-unwilling-commit-five-year-middle-east/bltd50f7bbb0ab2ca9f" target="_blank">a €1 billion offer was awaiting the Brazilian winger in the Saudi Pro League,</a> but he still feels that his future lies in the Spanish capital. Vinicius is now set to commit to fresh terms at Santiago Bernabeu.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The 24-year-old has agreed to sign a new deal with the Spanish giants, <a href="https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2025/04/22/el-real-madrid-anunciara-la-renovacion-de-vinicius-a-final-de-temporada-cadena-ser/" target="_blank"><em>Cadena SER</em></a> reports, having rejected the offers from the Middle East. Vinicius' new contract will be confirmed at the end of the campaign, with the ex-Flamengo star signing on for two or three more years on his current deal that expires in 2027.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Madrid crashed out of the Champions League this season and may miss out on the league title in Spain - a massive drop from their double success last term. Vinicius and Madrid were left apoplectic after the attacker <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ballon-dor-2024-official-rankings/bltdfc0dfad7cda201f" target="_blank">missed out on the Ballon d'Or last year</a>, but their underwhelming 2024-25 campaign means he is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ballon-dor-2025-power-rankings/bltd009fae5576d751f" target="_blank">unlikely to be in the running for the prize this time around</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Before the new contract is announced, Vinicius will attempt to build on the 20 goals and 14 assists he has under his belt this season when Madrid face Getafe in a crucial La Liga clash on Wednesday.</p>
