Vinicius Jr has reportedly extended his current contract with Real Madrid for a further five seasons to secure his services, according to reports in Spain. Ancelotti's side intend to announce his renewal in the next few days.

'Cadena SER' claims that the Brazilian has reached an agreement with the Spanish board to continue playing at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium until 2028.

The same media outlet reports that his new massive deal includes a £860m buyout clause and he could become one of the top earners in Madrid's squad.

The Spanish giants want to keep their undisputed starter in attack as they are still negotiating the transfer of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain. The Brazilian winger has scored 23 goals and provided 19 assists in 55 appearances in the 2022/23 season.
