The future of Vinicius Junior for Real Madrid dey shake small as reports dey link am with Premier League big clubs.
The Brazilian winger still get contract with Madrid till 2027, but talks for new deal don jam wahala. Reports talk say Madrid offer am around €20m (£17.5m), but Vinicius dey push for package close to €30m (£26.2m) with bonuses inside.
Under Xabi Alonso, e never too click this season, even though he shine against Levante with one goal and assist inside 4-1 win.
Liverpool & Arsenal Dey Monitor
According to TBR Football via Fichajes, Liverpool and Arsenal dey watch the matter close.
- Arsenal don sign Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze this summer, but the gist be say Arteta fit still fancy Vinicius to boost attack.
- Liverpool wey don add Wirtz, Ekitike and Isak, still dey linked with the Brazilian, even though Salah and Gakpo still dey run things.
If Madrid no fit reach agreement, rumours dey talk say Vinicius fit even force move by January.
Do Arsenal or Liverpool Really Need Am?
This na the big question:
- Liverpool: Slot still dey try balance Wirtz, Ekitike, Isak and Gakpo. Adding Vinicius fit scatter the balance.
- Arsenal: Martinelli, Trossard and Eze dey already cover left wing, so interest in Vinicius fit mean one of dem go lose place.
But the real issue be say Vinicius work rate off-ball dey low, and both Slot and Arteta dey demand high pressing and energy. That one fit make am mismatch.
The Bottom Line
Vinicius Junior dey among the hottest forwards for world football, but unless Madrid and him team settle the new contract wahala, Premier League suitors go dey wait for chance.
Whether na Liverpool or Arsenal, one thing clear — the Brazilian star no go come cheap, and the question remain: dem really need am, or na just name wey dey sweet fans?
