Real Madrid icon Toni Kroos has shared his approval following the announcement that Vinicius Junior will remain with the Spanish club. The two parties had been negotiating a fresh agreement for several months, a period during which the Brazilian forward was frequently mentioned as a potential target for Arsenal.
Reports suggested the London-based club intended to offer the 26-year-old a salary that would have established him as the top earner in the Premier League. These rumors have been put to rest, as Real Madrid confirmed on Thursday that the winger has officially signed an extension keeping him at the club until 2032.
Sharing his thoughts on Instagram, Kroos welcomed the development with a brief message to his teammate: “Thank goodness, Junior,” the former German international wrote.
