Vinicius: I see myself staying at Real Madrid for a long time Real Madrid Discussed his future and his past

Real Madrid were so sure that Vinicius would be a star of the future that they paid an extravagant sum for the teenager, and the forward believes he will provide return on investment by staying with the club for a long time to come.

The 19-year-old hopes to win many titles at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

"I see myself staying at Real Madrid for a long time," Vinicius explained in an interview with Real Madrid TV.

"I see myself winning almost everything here."

Florentino Perez was especially keen on signing the teenager to avoid having to pay an inordinate sum later in his career, and it was this interest that helped the Brazilian choose the Spanish capital.

"At first I thought it wasn't true, that it was just a newspaper rumour," he added.

"I had offers from both Real Madrid and Barcelona.

"My father told me I had to choose with my heart, and I listened to him."

It took the Brazilian time to adapt to life in Europe and fans didn't see the best of him until Santiago Solari's arrival as coach, when the forward was helped a lot by his South American compatriots.

"When I first arrived, it was very difficult because it was a massive change in my life," he said.

"I thought I wasn't going to survive because it was so difficult being away from the people I love.

"My family is everything to me and they always do everything possible to make me happy, and if I'm happy then I play better.

"When my family arrived, everything was better.

"Casemiro and Marcelo also helped me a lot as they had been through the same thing."
