Vinicius’s rise to the ranks of captaincy has garnered quite some attention, especially with his future at Real Madrid being uncertain. Negotiations for a new contract between Vinicius and the club have hit a dead end, with reports even suggesting that clubs from Saudi Arabia are ready to make a world record offer. However, according to Diario AS, the management continues to place him as a leader in the locker room. Vinicius is expected to stay at least until the 2025/2026 season.
