Inside Vinicius Jr’s wild 25th birthday party: 2-day bash with Travis Scott, bikini-clad models and more
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.
Madrid colleagues Eduardo Camavinga and Reinier Jesus were among a guestlist that also included American rapper Travis Scott. The Houston native even graced the theme park-goers with a show.
According to Spanish outlet Marca, guests also enjoyed personalised items in keeping with the park’s theme. Cups, neon lights with the Brazilian star’s silhouette and T-shirts with the ‘Baila Jr’ slogan were the notable collector’s items.
It appears that no expense was spared for the event that had several attractions to enjoy.
A pendulum ride, called ‘Samba’, and a grasshopper with rotating arms were available for guests to get their adrenaline kick.
Vinicius Jr headed back to his native Brazil for some downtime after Madrid’s bruising semi-final defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup.
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.
The Brazilian’s time away from the European spotlight comes as speculation grows that he could depart football on the continent altogether, with contract talks with the Spanish giants at a standstill.
AS report that all negotiations were put on hold after the initial approach which was made back in February.
The figure wanted was transmitted by his agent Frederico Pena and since then it is understood that there has been no further contact.
The Brazilian’s current contract, which sees him earn somewhere in the region £330,187-a-week.
After a stellar 2023-24 campaign that saw him finish second in the Ballon d’Or standings, the Brazilian was forced to adapt last year as Real welcomed the arrival of Kylian Mbappe.
Vinicius ultimately ended the season with 11 league goals from 24 starts as Carlo Ancelotti was unable to leverage his latest blockbuster arrival into yet more domestic glory.
