The Brazil international has played over 235 games for Los Blancos, scoring 62 goals, since joining from Flamengo in 2017 as a 16-year-old.
Vinicius, 23, has developed into one of La Liga’s standout players, scoring the winning goal in last year’s Champions League final against Liverpool.

His existing contract was due to expire at the end of this season. Local media reported an extension had already been agreed last year, but it was only made official on Tuesday.
The club provided no financial details, but Spanish media reported the arrangement includes a one-billion euro ($1.06 billion) release clause — identical to those inserted into the contract of several Barcelona youngsters.
Vinicius finished sixth Monday in this year’s Ballon d’Or voting and also received the Socrates award, named after the Brazil icon, in recognition of his humanitarian work.
