For the first time since signing a new six-year deal with Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior has spoken publicly.
Even though he was nearing the end of his last contract, the 26-year-old’s future was still unclear.
Mikel Arteta saw potential in Vinicius Jr., and Arsenal were eager to sign him to boost their left wing.
Despite rumours that Vinicius Jr. was keen on joining the Premier League winners, he inked new terms with Real Madrid.
According to the Brazilian, his eight years with Los Blancos were cut too short, and he would like to stay with the team.
The eight years that Vinicius has spent at the Bernabeu are far too brief. He wished for six more years and perpetuity in an Instagram story post.
Vinicius Jr. left Flamengo for Real Madrid when he was eighteen years old.
