Vinicius Jr may continue to be linked with one of the biggest transfers of the summer but he’s staying chilled on a much-needed break.
The Brazil forward has been heavily linked with a move away from Real Madrid this summer, with Premier League champions Arsenal among the clubs credited with an interest.
The latest news from Spain suggests that the 26-year-old is now intent on staying with Real where he has won the Champions League twice.
And he looked unworried sporting another new look on the Instagram page of his on-off girlfriend Virginia Fonseca.
The pair are relaxing in Jamaica after Vini’s World Cup exploits with Brazil which ended at the last-32 stage.
Vinicius will shortly be returning to Spain to start his pre-season in Madrid under new boss Jose Mourinho.
The Brazil international’s current contract expires in 12 months’ time, leaving the club vulnerable to one of their most valuable players walking away on a free transfer in 2027.
Hopes are high for a better season at the Santiago Bernabeu after a turbulent 2025/26 campaign.
Vinicius Jr had a very public falling out with coach Xabi Alonso before he was sacked in January, as Madrid ended without silverware for the second year on the trot.
Vinicius joined Real Madrid from Brazilian side Flamengo in 2018 and has since established himself as one of the club’s most influential players.
He has made more than 375 appearances in all competitions, winning three La Liga titles, two Champions League crowns and two FIFA Club World Cups during his time at the Bernabeu.
