Vinicius Jr. Says Real Madrid Talks Await Post-World Cup

Vinicius Jr. announced that any contract discussions with Real Madrid will be postponed until after the World Cup. He made the statement ahead of Brazil's opening match against Morocco. His current agreement runs until 2027, meaning he has just one year left on the deal. The impending expiry has kept contract speculation alive for months. "I’m with the national team now and everything regarding Real Madrid will be discussed once the World Cup is over," Vinicius said at the press conference. He emphasized that the talks are not occupying his thoughts at the moment. Vinicius stressed that his focus is on helping Brazil become champions rather than chasing personal accolades. He wants to make the most of the opportunity and prove that Brazil can win the tournament. He indicated that negotiations will resume after the World Cup, and a strong performance could influence the outcome of any future talks.
