The Brazilian forward brought up a century of goals for Real after scoring twice in the 5-1 win over RB Salzburg in the Champions League on Wednesday (22.01.25) and is eyeing more success with the Spanish giants rather than a lucrative switch to the Middle East.

Vinicius told TNT Brasil: "My next step is to always keep my mind on improving my game, continuing to develop, and helping the biggest club in the world.

"I dreamed of getting here, and playing with great players. That's my dream, to think now, to think big and to be able to win more trophies in this shirt."

Kylian Mbappe's arrival at Real last summer led some to question if Vinicius would continue to be a vital part of the team but the forward is enjoying playing with his new colleague after a slow start.

He said: "We are very happy with Kylian.

"The beginning is always complicated, but he managed to adapt well. Kylian is such a big player that even when he's adapting, he still scores lots of goals. Rodrygo and I are going to do all that we can for Mbappe to be top scorer in every competition, because that's why he came here."

Vinicius also revealed that he is aiming to surpass Ronaldo Nazario as Real's highest-scoring Brazilian player as he needs just four goals to beat his countryman's tally of 104 for Los Blancos.

He told Movistar: "I'm happy to score goals in this shirt.

"I'm three goals away from Ronaldo, from being the Brazilian with most goals in this shirt. Let's hope I can score more."
