Following Vinicius Jr's outburst against Barcelona, in which the Brazilian claimed he was 'leaving the team', the 11 favourite sides to sign the Brazilian have been revealed.
Vinicius has been a staple of Real Madrid's side since 2018. Having played over 300 games for Los Blancos, his goal tally, which surpasses 100, has seen him unanimously agreed as the world's best left-sided forward. Currently working under his fifth coach as a Madrid player, it seems his relationship with Xabi Alonso is causing chaos in the capital.
His most recent outing as a Madridista saw him removed from the field of play after 72 minutes. A decision that the Brazilian didn't agree with, despite his side's 2-1 advantage over rivals Barcelona, it has since been reported that the 43-time capped Brazilian international is weighing up his future as a Madrid player.
A move that would capture the attention of the footballing world, sporting directors and coaches will be desperately figuring out how they can arrange a financial package that would secure the services of the forward. With plenty of teams in need of a world-class forward, these are the 11 options most likely to sign Vinicius, as per Bet365.
Vinicius Jr's Next Club Odds

11. Any MLS Team - 33/1
A vague description, but given how the MLS operates, it could be any one of the 30 teams across the Eastern and Western Conferences that could secure the services of Vinicius. With the MLS allowing up to three 'Designated Player' signings, a transfer that is not counted towards the annual salary budget, Vinicius would have plenty of options in America.
A league that has become synonymous with ageing players, Vinicius would be an anomaly, someone who is in his prime, making the move Stateside. However, with talents such as Lionel Messi and Son Heung-min, the Brazilian could be tempted to join the world-class forwards on their expedition.

10. Inter Milan - 28/1
Much like previous Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who made the switch to Juventus after leaving Los Blancos, the odds show that a move to Italy could be on the cards for the left-winger. However, for Vinicius, Bet365 see a potential move to Italy only coming to fruition if he were to join Inter Milan.
Inter, who are currently coached by Cristian Chivu, certainly miss that X-Factor in attack, with Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram unable to carry the load between them. With Ange-Yoan Bonny on the rise, Vinicius would help bridge the gap from a struggling present to an exciting future, with his guaranteed instant impact being something the Nerazzurri require.
9. Bayern Munich - 28/1
The only German team to be on the list find themselves with similar odds to Inter Milan, as Bayern Munich are 28/1 favourites to sign the Brazilian. Vincent Kompany's men are enjoying a stellar opening to their campaign, both domestically and in Europe, as they boast over 40 goals scored already in all competitions.
If there is one thing Die Roten don't need to improve upon, it is the attack, and with rising star Lennart Karl proving he could be the next big thing, it remains to be seen if there is room in the current Bayern side for Vinicius. However, with Harry Kane's future up in the air, and Michael Olise linked to a move back to the Premier League, securing Vinicius could help Bayern replace potential outgoings.

8. Flamengo - 22/1
At much improved odds compared to the former entrants, a return to Brazil could be in Vinicius' future, with Flamengo being the most likely destination. Having initially left the Mengao for Madrid in 2018, it was Flamengo who gave Vinicius the stage to prove his talents.
Appearing 69 times for the Brazilian outfit, scoring on 14 occasions, a full-circle move back home could help tip Flamengo over the line, as they currently embark on a toe-to-toe title race with Palmeiras. However, still in his prime and with lots left to give, it is a move that would be very unlikely at this stage of his career.
7. Manchester United - 22/1
Joining Flamengo at odds of 22/1 is Manchester United. A side that has struggled to maintain the glittering reputation Sir Alex Ferguson left them with in 2013, one of the Red Devils' positive characteristics over the years has been their ability to sign any and all world-class talent, regardless of how they are performing as a club.
Having most recently signed Casemiro and Raphael Varane from Los Blancos, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for Amorim's team to prize Vinicius away from Madrid and to Manchester. However, having most recently added the likes of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to their roster, a guaranteed nine-figure transfer for Vinicius might be too much too soon for the club.

6. Chelsea - 22/1
A Premier League side that has garnered a reputation for immense spending in recent windows is Chelsea, and if Vinicius is to cost north of £150m, they might just be the side able and willing to fork out that amount. Based in the capital of England, London might be the ideal destination for Vinicius if he is to be tempted out of Madrid.
However, similar to previous clubs, Chelsea's spending has seen them bulk up their attacking roster, with the likes of Pedro Neto, Alejandro Garnacho, Jamie Gittens, and Estevao. A side filled with potential, and future signings yet to join the club, Vinicius might not fit the bill of what Chelsea's transfer team seem to be going for.
5. Liverpool - 16/1
The first of two Premier League sides to be favoured at 16/1 is Arne Slot's Liverpool. With Mohamed Salah getting older, and others, such as Federico Chiesa, unable to get consistent game time, there is space in Liverpool's front line for another world-class attacking player.
With Vinicius often playing his game on the left, he would have to displace the dependable Cody Gakpo, who has proved his worth since moving to Merseyside in 2023. However, as Liverpool proved in the most recent transfer window, they are willing to spend big, and if this is an opportunity they want to pursue, they will be willing to pay whatever it takes to bring the Brazilian to Anfield.

4. Arsenal - 16/1
Having spent a lot of the summer tentatively linked with Real Madrid forward Rodrygo, the bookies are now placing Vinicius in Arsenal's eyeline. Mikel Arteta's men are seemingly almost there in their pursuit of winning titles, as they currently sit four points clear in the Premier League table.
A summer in which they signed the likes of Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres, the one glaring gap in the Arsenal squad is a world-class left-sided forward. With Bukayo Saka consistently showing up on the right-hand side, a similar talent is required on the left, and Vinicius would aid Arsenal in their trophy hunt, as well as plugging the left-sided gap they have had for so long.
3. Paris Saint-Germain - 14/1
Many talents in the past have departed the Spanish league for PSG, most notably Lionel Messi and Neymar. With another unsettled world-class forward playing in Spain, it makes sense as to why Vinicius' links with the Parisian side are so strong.
Having finally realised their potential last season by winning the Champions League, under Luis Enrique, they have blended experience with youth to carve out a winning formula. A side stacked with attacking prowess, there is no reason why Enrique couldn't find space for the Brazilian and Ousmane Dembele in the same line-up, a prospect that would petrify defences across Europe.

2. Manchester City - 10/1
Leading the way as the favourite Premier League side is Manchester City, who currently sit at odds of 10/1. Undergoing a somewhat strange period as a club, owing to the fact that they are losing more often, the signature of Vinicius could help Pep Guardiola's men in their aim of achieving more consistent results.
With Jeremy Doku and Savinho unable to put in the performances the Citizens expected of them, Vinicius could help cure City's winger issues and supply Erling Haaland with plenty more opportunities. A move to a club so accustomed to winning would suit the Brazilian, whose mindset would be aligned with the blue half of Manchester, as opposed to any other Premier League side. Unknown if City would be willing to pay the money needed for the forward, finances aren't anything that have stopped them from signing world-class talent in the past.

1. Any Saudi Arabian Team - 5/1
However, despite all the European giants that have been mentioned, it is Saudi Arabia that comes out on top as the most likely destination for Vinicius if he were to leave Real Madrid. A league that has time and time again proven they will pay whatever it takes to secure a target, a move to Saudi Arabia would give the Brazilian a payday unparalleled by any European club.
As well as allowing the forward to play in a league where abuse is less rife and the sport may come easier to him, it would be a well-financed break of sorts for the forward, who could then think about his next move, something many players are starting to do.
