According to Romano, though, the Brazil international has finally agreed terms over a new Real Madrid contract that will see him commit his future to the Spanish side until 2030 and end speculation that he could be on his way to Saudi Arabia for an incredible fee.

Taking to X, Romano tweeted: “Vinicius Jr is on the verge of reaching an agreement with Real Madrid over new deal for the next five years.

“Deal almost done as La Ser reported, waiting to clarify whether it’s going to be be valid until 2030 or 2029 with option to extend.

“Vini always wanted to stay at Real Madrid.”

Vini says no to €1 billion Saudi offer

Vini Jr has turned down offers from the Saudi Pro League to remain at Real Madrid, Cadena SER confirmed, though the Spanish source does differ from Romano when it comes to the length of his new deal at the Bernabeu.

“His current contract expires in 2027, and it will likely be a two- or three-year extension,” Manu Carreno said.

Vini had been presented with a blockbuster offer from Saudi Arabia that would have seen him earn €1 billion over five years and potentially hook up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. It is claimed that he knocked this back as he did not want to commit himself to the Pro League for such a long time.

Saudi, meanwhile, were clearly eager to take Vini to the Middle East, with the expectation that they were ready to make a €300 million offer that would have shattered the current world transfer record.
