Real Madrid look set to extend Vinicius Junior amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain. Fabrizio Romano reported: “Paris Saint-Germain interested in
me? I want to stay at Real Madrid. I’m close to a contract renewal. Real Madrid
will enter into final stages of his contract extension until June 2028.”
Madrid
will extend Vinicius for a long time to help fend off other clubs from coming
back for the star winger.
Vinicius
had an excellent campaign in 2021/22 with his highest goal and assist
tally in a full season to date. His partnership with Karim Benzema helped the Frenchman have one of the best
seasons of his distinguished career. While it all went well this past season,
not all the news is good for Real Madrid. Real lost the race to sign Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, meaning they missed out on their chance to
sign two of the world’s biggest forwards. Now left with a brilliant but all be
it ageing Benzema, Real need a cornerstone to build the team around.

It
looks like Vinicius will be the rock on which Madrid builds their proverbial
church. They look set to sign Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco and have already added pieces
like Camavinga as well. With a solid midfield base, they also went out and
signed Antonio Rudiger from Chelsea to help bolster the defence.
Real
Madrid has a strong connection with South American football, specifically with
the Brazilian national team. In the past couple of years, Casemiro and Marcelo
have played pivotal roles in La Liga and Champions League triumphs. Real Madrid
will look to continue their strong connection with the extension of Vinicius
and give a more pivotal role to Rodrygo in the next couple of seasons. With
Reinier Jesus on loan at Borussia Dortmund as well the entire front line could
end up being from Brazil.
