Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior has frequently been at the center of transfer rumors in the past year, particularly attracting interest from Saudi Arabian clubs. However, few have seriously considered the possibility of him changing clubs within Europe.
Idman.biz reports that the 25-year-old footballer has not yet signed a new contract with Real, despite lengthy negotiations. It is reported that the parties had already reached a preliminary agreement on terms, but recently Vinicius has demanded the same or higher salary as his teammate Kilian Mbappe. Although Saudi Arabian clubs are considered his main potential destination, this interest has waned recently.
According to "Indykaila", Vinicius has held secret talks with Premier League giant Manchester City. It is reported that "City" is also looking for a transfer opportunity for his teammate Rodrigo, but Vinicius himself is also open to leaving the "Santiago Bernabeu". Although he is concerned about City's court case regarding financial irregularities in the Premier League, he is assessing his current options.
It is noted that this transfer could take place either this summer or next year. City's rivals - Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea - are also closely watching Vinicius. It is emphasized that the footballer is seriously interested in moving to the Premier League.
It is currently unknown whether Real will agree to sell Vinicius to a club in Europe. Interestingly, in this case, Real has a star player from Manchester City in mind as a replacement. Questions have arisen about Vinicius' compatibility with Mbappe, and Real has already made it clear that the team will be built around the French star. A transfer to Saudi Arabia could cost hundreds of millions of euros and take him to a different continent. But selling him to a direct rival in the Champions League for a lower amount is a completely different matter.
It should be noted that, according to Transfermarkt, Vinicius Junior's transfer value is 170 million euros.
