Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo tribute to Florentino Vini Jr after penning new deal

Real Madrid attacker Rodrygo Goes paid tribute to president Florentino Perez at his new contract signing ceremony yesterday.

Rodrygo has signed a deal to 2028.

On Florentino, he said: "Very little needs to be said. He's a phenomenon. He's very special and treats us all very well. He always tells me good things, the things I really need to hear. He's very important in my life.

"It was my dream to win everything, but I didn't expect to do it in four seasons. I thought the Champions League, which is the most special, was going to take me a bit longer. I'm very happy because I've already won them all. Now I'd like to win them all again."

On Vini Jr., Rodryo added: "We came here pretty much at the same time, both very young from Brazil. We've made history together too. We've already won a Champions League and every possible title.

"This shirt always motivates us to come here to train and play. Doing that with a friend is always special. Vini is like a brother to me and we hope to continue to grow together."
