We Are Close to a Crucial Moment for Vinícius's Career. At 24 years old, he has a major offer from Saudi Arabia on the table and is considering it. His contract with Real Madrid ends in 2027, and now, Manu Carreño has shed some light on the uncertainty regarding his future plans. What seemed one way now appears another, and everything indicates that he will likely continue at Bernabéu with a new contract.
Manu Carreño Gives the Latest on Vinícius
In the latest episode of El Larguero, Manu Carreño was assertive about the Brazilian's future. He revealed: "Madrid is working on things, and one of those things is what will happen with Vinícius. He has a contract until 2027, but the Saudis keep persisting. The 5-year deal doesn't sit well with him; it doesn't convince him if he were to leave.

The decision is made, and despite everything, Vinícius will remain at Real Madrid. He will earn much less than what is offered in Saudi Arabia.
