Vinícius Wants to Become a Real Madrid Legend and Spend His Entire Career in White
The Brazilian star is thriving under Xabi Alonso’s system and is already negotiating a new deal to stay for years at what he calls “the club of my life.”
Under Xabi’s command, talent blossoms
Vinícius Júnior is loving life under Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid. His stunning performance at the Club World Cup—scoring a screamer and delivering a Guti-style assist against Salzburg—proved how well he fits into the new, more compact and pressing system introduced by the Spanish coach.
The Brazilian describes this period as “really good,” while admitting he’s still adapting to a role “slightly more central.”

The club of his life… and a future being shaped
Although he's under contract until 2027, Vinícius wants more: “It’s the club of my life,” he declared, making it clear he intends to stay for many more years at the Bernabéu. Negotiations for a contract extension are already underway and, according to reports, a deal is close—despite a massive offer from Saudi Arabia.
Backed by money… but built on football
His new contract could see his salary surpass even Mbappé and Bellingham, and would raise his release clause to over €1 billion. The message from Madrid is clear: this isn’t just about money—it’s a long-term project built around him.
A leader on and off the pitch
From his breakout performances in the Champions League to his decisive role in the Club World Cup, Vinícius has now passed 100 goals and recently reached 300 appearances for Real Madrid. He’s already etching his name into club history—and the future looks bright for the Brazilian in white.
