Vinicius: "I Trust the President and Know He Trusts Me"

Vinicius Junior was celebrated by Real Madrid fans after his outstanding performance in the Champions League match against Monaco, where he scored one goal and provided two assists. This contrasts with the recent boos he received at the same stadium. The change in technical leadership, with the appointment of Alvaro Arbeloa, appears to have had a positive impact on the situation. Vinicius is reportedly now willing to discuss a contract renewal, which expires in 2027, with a two-year extension until 2029. Initially, Vinicius demanded higher wages than Kylian Mbappé, but he has now shown greater flexibility, with the contribution of president Florentino Pérez. Vinicius himself stated that he trusts the president and wants to stay with the team for many years.
