Arbeloa’s continuity could be key for Real Madrid to secure superstar’s renewal – report Real Madrid have been working behind the scenes for a while now to tie down key superstar Vinicius Jr. to a new contract. The Brazilian international’s current deal runs out in 2027, meaning he will be entering the final year of his contract in the summer – a scenario that Los Blancos had been keen on avoiding.
But negotiations over a renewal hit roadblocks owing to the winger’s salary and bonus demands, while his difficult relationship with former manager Xabi Alonso only served to complicate matters further. However, things are once again looking up for Vinicius and Real Madrid with Alvaro Arbeloa at the helm now. Arbeloa’s presence could be key to Vinicius’ renewal In fact, according to journalist Marcos Benito on El Chiringuito , Arbeloa’s continuity at Real Madrid beyond this season could be critical to Vinicius Jr.

Things had gotten particularly grim for Vinicius during Alonso’s tenure earlier this season, leading to genuine doubts about his future at the Santiago Bernabeu. But, with Arbeloa, things have taken a turn for the better and the possibility of a summer departure for the Brazilian forward is now firmly off the table. And, the former defender’s continued presence as head coach could be key to secure Vinicius’ extension.
Florentino Perez, for his part, is determined to renew Vinicius , and the player himself is very happy with the Real Madrid president and has never had any issues with him. With Arbeloa gaining more and more support in the locker room , the possibility of him continuing at the Bernabeu beyond the current season has grown strong. And, it might end up being a decisive factor in Vinicius’ renewal.
