Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr transformed a pocket of Rio de Janeiro into his own theme park to celebrate his 25th birthday.
The two-day attraction, dubbed Parque Baila Vini World, was reportedly organised by the winger for his enjoyment and that of an exclusive list of friends and family.
While back in his homeland, the forward unveiled his own wax statue, a life-size replica that is set to be transferred to Madame Tussauds in New York.
Madrid are said to be at a crossroads with regards to a new deal, unwilling to offer him more than the over £500,000-a-week that Mbappe makes.
Back in February, the winger made a statement on the situation: ‘I hope the talks will be resolved in the coming days. It’s very exciting to be able to open talks with Real Madrid about my renewal.
‘I have a contract until I’m 27, but I’ve always said I want to play here for a long time, to make history, and to receive the affection of the fans alongside the president and the coaching staff.
‘God willing, the negotiations will be resolved in the coming days, and I’ll be able to stay here for much longer.’
Throughout his glittering spell in Madrid the 25-year-old has been consistently linked with becoming the latest high-profile star to join the Saudi Pro League.
Vinicius is said to have met with officials from the league, namely vice president Saad Al Lazeez, in Prague in 2023 as they attempted to sell him on the move.
Talks between the two parties have reportedly continued ever since, with the gulf state prepared to offer him a five-year deal worth £830million to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema
