Vinicius Junior has extended his Real Madrid contract until June 2032.
The Brazil international drew major interest from Arsenal as he entered the final year of his previous deal, but has signed a new six-year contract to extend his stay in the Spanish capital.
Vinicius joined Los Blancos eight years ago and has made 375 appearances for the club, scoring 128 goals and providing 85 assists while winning 14 major trophies.
The winger has won three LaLiga titles, two Champions Leagues and one Copa del Rey, among other trophies, and will now look to add to his collection under Jose Mourinho.
Vinicius wrote on his Instagram story: “Eight years at the Bernabeu is too short… six more years and forever to go!”

Since the start of the 2018-19 season, Vinicius has directly contributed to the fifth-most goals in LaLiga (118 – 77 goals, 41 assists), while completing the most dribbles (574) and creating the second-most chances from open play (355).
Since the 2003-03 campaign, Vinicius ranks 14th among non-Spanish players for direct goal involvements in LaLiga. He is, along with Inaki Williams (137), one of the two from that list of 14 who will compete in the competition next season.
And in the Champions League, he leads Madrid players in goals (34 – level with Karim Benzema) and assists (26) since his arrival in 2018.
Madrid failed to win any silverware last season, and though Vinicius fell out of favour under Xabi Alonso, who was replaced in January by Alvaro Arbeloa, he still enjoyed a strong campaign.
Vinicius scored 23 goals and recorded 11 assists in 59 matches, while only Lamine Yamal (133) and Yan Diomande (118) completed more dribbles across Europe’s top five leagues than Vinicius (87).
