Him again. Always him. This season, Vinicius Junior has been the target of many attacks. On the field, some opponents criticized his behavior and attacked him. In the stands, many supporters insulted him. This was the case on Sunday at Mestalla during the match between Valencia and Real Madrid (1-0). The international auriverde was notably called a “monkey”. A new controversy which is too much for the 22-year-old footballer. Facing the press, then on his social networks, he emptied his bag. The young man is tired of being the target of racist insults.
The Premier League as a way out
His entourage too. Yesterday morning, ESPN in Brazil revealed that his relatives are pushing behind the scenes for him to leave the Whites this summer. But the 22-year-old winger was not necessarily for it. Later in the day, UOL explained that Vini Jr intended to give an interview to ask for sanctions and changes. The Brazilian publication also revealed that the footballer intends to threaten Real Madrid by mentioning a possible departure. This has not escaped several clubs, which are following his case closely. The Sun explains on Tuesday that his situation has put Premier League teams on alert.
A destination which is the one favored by the Brazilian clan. Asked by the Mirror a week ago, the player’s agent, Federico Pena, said: “Vini feels very close to Real Madrid and is very happy there. He feels very comfortable there, he likes the club. He’s been there for so long that he’s sort of become a man from there (…) Who knows, in football things can change and there are things you would never imagine. I would just say that if he ever leaves Real Madrid, it wouldn’t make sense for him to go anywhere but the Premier League. Even if, for the moment, there is no chance.
MU is already on the move
But the situation has changed and a start is no longer impossible. Defense Central also reveals that Manchester United is already a candidate to welcome him. The Red Devils value his profile and believe he can be a real asset. The Mancunians, who are also on the trail of Neymar as revealed exclusively a month ago on our site, also dream of Vinicius Junior. The presence of Casemiro, whom he knows and appreciates, is a plus. Just like having been respected in England during Champions League matches. DC adds that paying his salary would not be a problem for the English club, which is about to be bought out.
His agents therefore push for him to go to England. A country where other teams must also follow closely. Elsewhere, Paris Saint-Germain have often been cited as a possible base in the past. Yesterday, Sport, which mentioned French media, evoked this track. But the trend at the moment is obviously not a departure. Despite the advice of his representatives and the interest he may arouse, Vini Jr wants to continue in Madrid. The reverse is valid. Especially since to let him slip away, the Merengues will claim the price of his release clause, ie 1 billion euros. A price that seems too high.
