Vinicius Jr has signed a contract extension at Real Madrid until 2027 which reportedly has an astronomical release clause of €1 billion.
The 23-year-old Brazil international winger has registered 62 goals and 67 assists across 235 games for the La Liga side since he moved to Spain in 2018.
Real Madrid officially confirmed his new deal on Tuesday and it is reported that his €1 billion release clause will also be included in fresh contracts for his team-mates Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Rodrygo.
Barcelona fans were heard shouting ‘monkey’ as an object, which appeared to be a banana, was thrown at him from the stands, according to Spanish outlet Marca.
It was the second La Liga game in a row that Vinicius Jr had been targeted by racists after he was the subject of vile abuse from Sevilla fans during Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw there on October 21.
In May, Vinicius Jr said that Spain ‘belongs to racists’ after he was abused during a match against Valencia at the Mestalla.
