JAKARTA - Vinicius Junior has indicated his plans to stay with Real Madrid for a long time.

Speaking ahead of Brazil's friendly against France, the striker was asked about Antoine Griezmann's decision to move from Atletico Madrid to MLS (Major League Soccer) side Orlando City SC.

After eight years at the Santiago Bernabeu, the 25-year-old insists he is not even considering a move.

"Griezmann is a great player, he had a great career in Spain, also with the French national team. I think he will make a lot of contributions in the league (Major League Soccer)."

"I'm only thinking about Real Madrid and being there for a long time. I'm having my best moment. Everything I've done at Real Madrid, I hope I can do here with the National Team (Brazil)," said Vinicius as reported by ESPN.

This season, Vinicius has appeared 43 times in all competitions and contributed 17 goals and 13 assists. He was rumored to want to leave the Bernabeu because he had a disagreement with Xabi Alonso.

During Alonso's stint at Real Madrid which was only about six months, he often rotated Vinicius with Rodrygo. However, now the position of the 25-year-old striker is irreplaceable since Alvaro Arbeloa became caretaker.
