Chelsea transfer target and Brazilian superstar Vinicius Junior wants to stay in Europe even if he leaves Real Madrid at the end of the current season, according to Flamengo president Luiz Eduardo Baptista.
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.
Vinicius Junior has also been linked with a move to Flamengo in recent weeks, but it seems that he would prefer to stay in Europe if he does decide to leave Madrid, He told AS: “Yes, but Vinicius Junior wants to stay in Europe. It’s a different time, as we were just discussing, about each player’s current situation.
‘Whether it’s due to Vini’s wishes or the financial considerations involved, it’s more of a conversation for the fans to imagine. That’s the reality. Vinicius is always welcome.
“When he comes to Brazil, he goes to the Maracana, he visits the Flamengo stands, he has friends at home. We want Vini, but he’s not yet within Flamengo’s reach. Not yet.”
IcFootballnews Says…
There has been alot of speculation about the future of Vinicius Junior for some time now, and to be honest, we would not be shocked to see him actually leave Madrid at the end of the season.
But with that massive asking price and his sky high wage demands, there will only be a handful of clubs that are able to give him the kind of deal that he wants or needs, and Chelsea are one of those clubs.
However – the way that Vinicius is, the fact he frustrates his own fans, Blues fans may not welcome the idea of his arrival in the summer
