He has been a big surprise since he moved from Flamengo to Real Madrid in 2018.
In 238 games for the club, the 24-year-old has scored 10 or more goals every year for the past three years.
Even though Madrid thought Vinicius couldn’t be moved, they still wanted to sign Kylian Mbappe.
Instead of Vinicius, the French player would play on the left wing. He is likely to sign for free at the end of the season, but he would be the best-paid player in the world at the Bernabeu.
Even if Mbappe made more than £600,000 a week, Madrid would still have to pay about £30 million a year to keep him. This is because they would save money on the transfer fee.
During Mbappe’s deal, at least £150 million would have to be spent.
These are crazy numbers. In fact, Sport says Madrid might have to sell Vinicius to pay for Mbappe’s coming.
It is said that United is willing to pay £130 million for the Brazilian. This could be good news for them.
It’s still not clear if Vinicius would be okay with moving to Old Trafford if it meant missing out on the Champions League.
United is in fourth place, eight points behind Arsenal, and Arsenal has a game in hand over United.
It is Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s goal to be in charge of everything football-related by the start of February. To run the business, the club will hire a new CEO, a head of hiring, and a head of sports.
