Vinicius Junior has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, but he declared his desire to remain with Real Madrid long-term following their 5-2 comeback win over Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.
\"I\'m still only 24,\" Vinicius said. \"I want to stay here forever and contribute as much as possible to this team, which has given me everything since I arrived here.\"
Vinicius is one of the frontrunners to win the Ballon d\'Or when it is awarded on Oct. 28th. There was some speculation that Vinicius was waiting until the end of the current season to make a decision on the Saudi offer with the Ballon d\'Or playing a role in that calculus.
