Rodrygo, the Real Madrid forward, is reportedly likely to commit his long-term future to the club.
Vinicius Junior signed a new contract with Los Blancos on Tuesday, and the club has already announced one new contract extension this week.
The Brazil international, who joined the club when he was 18 years old, has signed a new four-year contract that will keep him at the Santiago Bernabeu until the summer of 2027.
Real Madrid may confirm an extension for Vinicius’ compatriot after securing the long-term future of one Brazilian forward.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the 14-time European champions have agreed to extend Rodrygo’s stay at the club.
The 22-year-old’s current contract, which expires at the end of the 2024-25 season, has less than two years left on it.
Rodrygo, on the other hand, may sign a new long-term contract extension with the Spanish club until June 2028.
Following a mutual agreement, the player’s new contract is going to be revealed on Thursday.
As is typical in Spanish football, Rodrygo’s contract will include a sizeable release clause, reportedly worth €1 billion (£871 million).
Rodrygo joined Real Madrid in July 2019 from Brazilian club Santos, where he progressed through the youth ranks.
The attacker has made 179 competitive appearances for Los Blancos, scoring 39 goals and providing 33 assists.
The Brazilian international has 18 caps for his country and has won two La Liga titles and a Champions League trophy with Real Madrid.
Rodrygo has started 12 of Real Madrid’s 15 competitive matches this season. He is likely to play against Rayo Vallecano at home on Sunday.
