Despite promising his father he would spend his entire career with Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr. recently admitted that this may not wind up being the case.

The Brazilian forward has been effusive in his enthusiasm for the club and living in Spain’s capital as he nears an agreement on a new long-term contract with the Royals. However, the 23-year-old player opened out about his thoughts in an interview with L’Equipe because he knows he will have to leave the Santiago Bernabeu in the future.

Vinicius added, “I think I could stay here my whole career.” My all-time favorite team, however, is Flamengo. I have always intended to fulfill my pledge to visit my father. This is a commitment I cannot break.

After two seasons with the first squad at the age of 17, Vinicius departed Flamengo for Real Madrid, where he struggled at first but eventually emerged as a top talent in world soccer.

Vinicius is an essential player for Real Madrid right now, but he won’t feel the same way about the team in the future. Marcelo is a role model for Vinicius as he contemplates a similar move back to Brazil in his later career. The former Real Madrid great is presently helping his own club, Fluminense, get ready for the final of the Copa Libertadores.

Vinicius, who was once a member of Real Madrid, had to appear in court after he was accused of racism. The 23-year-old actress seems happy and content with her life in Spain. According to Vinicius, “my family and I are doing well here.” We have family who only wants the best for us. My perception of life, emotion, and excitement expanded gradually as I became immersed in Madrid’s one-of-a-kind culture.

Vinicius’s current priority is with the Brazilian national squad. This forward is hoping to assist Brazil beat Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup qualifying match after the team’s disheartening home draw with Venezuela.
