Chelsea are showing interest in one very highly rated Real Madrid star. This is not the first time that they are linked with this player. The deal is said to cross £200 million and the Blues face competition from Saudi clubs.
The star in question here is Vinicius Jr who has been one of the best players in the world. He joined Madrid 2018 and had a tough start to his career. But, the Brazilian kept on working hard and soon his efforts starter to pay off.
So far, Vini has won 14 major titles with Real Madrid. 2 of those trophies are UCL where Vini scored in both finals. The Brazilian now wears the iconic number 7 and leads the attack alongside Kilian Mbappe and Rodrygo.
Vini has so far played 304 games for Madrid and has registered 103 goals along with 69 assists. Los Blancos are very happy with him and the player top has shown his commitment to the club. Vini will have his contract expired at Madrid in two years from now.
The Brazilian is on the verge of agreeing a new contract with Madrid. There is a hope from both parties that the new contract will be signed without any complications. But other clubs are keeping tabs on the situation to take full advantage in any case of the talks falling out.

Lastly, the reports state that it will require any club to pay atleast £200 million to lure Vini away from Madrid. Chelsea can spend this amount but it will make their situation tough in terms of PSR. Hence, they will have to part ways with many of their current stars if they do decide to make a move for Vini.
