Vinicius Junior making a move to Chelsea remains a ”fairytale shout”, says former Blues midfielder Jody Morris, amid all the speculation and rumours that the Blues are prepared to pay big for the Brazilian star.
Vinicius has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons over the past few weeks ever since news broke that he was one of the players that helped end Xabi Alonso’s time at the Bernabeu.
The Madrid fans have even turned on the Brazilian star, and recent reports in the Spanish media have claimed that President Florentino Perez is very much open to the idea of letting some of his big players leave the club, if the right offer is made.
But A ‘Galactico’ at Santiago Bernabeu is generating talk of a Premier League transfer being made in 2026, as reports have claimed that Vinicius could be the big name that arrives at Stamford Bridge in a move that could cost the club over £130 million.
However – Morris cannot see a big-money deal being done. He has told AceOdds: “Personally, I love Vini Jr. I thought he was outstanding in the Supercopa de Espana. What a goal, the one he scored. He had [Jules] Kounde on toast, didn’t he?
“Personally, would I want to sign him? Yeah. But I think he’s too old for this ownership. I know he’s 25 but he’s 25 going on 26. Whatever we’re going to have to shell out for him, I’m not sure. I know we’ve sold a hotel, a women’s team and a car park or something but I’m not sure them accountants have any more moves in their locker to go and unlock a Vini Jr. move.
“Would I want him at CHELSEA? Absolutely. But I’m not sure he’s possible to go and buy and if you’re Vini Jr., are you really looking to come to Chelsea? At the moment, where we are, you’re not coming to Chelsea are you? It’s a good shout but it’s a fairytale shout. I don’t see it.”
