Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr 'rejected' approaches from Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea in favour of signing a new contract at the Bernabeu, according to reports in Spain.
Marca reported last week the 21-year-old is set to commit his future to the La Liga and Champions League winners by signing a new long-term deal that is expected to be announced next month. It will see him become 'one of the best paid' players at the club and is rumoured to include a €1billion (£870m) buy-out clause.
The winger's current deal expires in 2024 but his form over the course of last season is said to have attracted interest from across Europe. Paris Saint-Germain are another club rumoured to be keen on the player, who was integral to Real Madrid's La Liga and Champions League winning campaign.

The report from Marca adds the English trio 'registered' their interest in Vinicius but were informed it is the Brazilian's 'priority' to remain with his current club. He's now reportedly ready to commit his future to Real Madrid for at least the next four years.
Since joining the Spanish giants in 2018 from Brazilian side Flamengo, the winger has made 170 appearances. He's scored 36 goals and registered 43 assists in that time.
Vinicius was also a standout performer in the Champions League final in May, Real Madrid edged Liverpool 1-0 at the Stade de France to clinch the trophy for the fourteenth time. He scored the winning goal on 59 minutes, his well-time run saw him evade Trent Alexander-Arnold and slot his effort beyond Alisson at the back post.
Liverpool are well-stocked in attack after they completed the signing of Luis Diaz from Porto in January. They've also added Benfica striker Darwin Nunez to the ranks as they look to challenge on all fronts once again next season.
