Brazil winger Vinicius Jr has agreed a new six-year contract with Real Madrid that will keep him at the Bernabeu until 2032.
The 26-year-old had entered the final 12 months of his contract and attracted interest from Arsenal in recent weeks.
However, Real Madrid announced on Thursday the two parties have agreed to extend his deal to 30 June 2032.

Liverpool have confirmed the signing of centre-back Ronald Araujo on a season-loan from Barcelona.
The Merseyside club hold an option to make the move permanent for €55million (£47.1m; $63.6m). Liverpool have not paid a loan fee but will cover all of his wages with Araujo taking a pay cut in order to facilitate the move.

🚨 NEW PREMIER LEAGUE RULES FOR 2026/27! 🚨
The new season is bringing a whole host of changes to the laws of the game, with most designed to cut down on time-wasting and get more football actually being played.
Here's a Summary of them 👇
⏱️ 5-SECOND COUNTDOWNS
Players could now have just five seconds to take goal-kicks and throw-ins if the referee believes they're deliberately delaying the restart.
Take too long and the opposition could get the ball — and for goal-kicks, potentially a corner.
🔄 10 SECONDS TO LEAVE THE PITCH
Substituted players must leave by the nearest point within 10 seconds.
Take too long and the substitute can't enter for at least a minute, meaning the team could temporarily play with 10 men.
🤕 INJURED PLAYERS OFF FOR ONE MINUTE
If the referee stops play because an outfield player is injured, they'll generally have to leave the pitch for one minute before returning.
This is aimed at stopping injuries being used to disrupt the opposition's momentum.
🧤 GOALKEEPER 'TACTICAL TIMEOUTS'
If a goalkeeper receives treatment, an outfield player selected by the manager must leave the pitch for one minute.
Another attempt to stop teams using supposed injuries to break up the game.
⚽️ NEW HANDLING RULE FROM GOAL-KICKS
Once the ball has been kicked by the goalkeeper or a defender, the goal-kick is considered taken.
If a defender then handles the ball inside the box, it can result in a penalty. If it's the goalkeeper, it can be an indirect free-kick for a backpass.
📺 MORE VAR INTERVENTION
VAR will now have some additional powers, including reviewing the second yellow card when it results in a sending-off.
VAR can also review certain attacking fouls committed before a set-piece if they directly lead to a goal, penalty or disciplinary action.
🚫 THE AIM?
Fewer delays. Less time-wasting. More football.
The changes were trialled at the World Cup and are now being introduced across English football, including the Premier League.
