Manchester City line up €150 million move for Vinicius Junior
Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Brazilian international Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Manchester City are plotting a €150 million move for 25-year-old Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior.
The South American attacker is one of the best players in the world, but he has not been at his best in recent months. Vinicius seems unsettled at Real Madrid, and his future is also up in the air. The player will be out of contract in 2027, and he has not signed an extension with Real Madrid yet.
It would make sense for the Spanish club to sell him while he still retains some value. They will probably be open to selling him at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see if Manchester City can get the deal done.
The Citizens need more quality and depth on the flanks, and the Brazilian international is one of the best in that role. He could transform Manchester City going forward. City are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they have been fighting for major trophies regularly under Pep Guardiola. The Brazilian international will be attracted to the idea of joining them.
The opportunity to play in the Premier League can be quite attractive, and recent reports have claimed that Manchester City are the front-runners to sign him. €150 million would be a lot of money for a player in the final year of his contract at the end of the season. Real Madrid are likely to accept it if the offer is presented.
Where will Vinicius end up?
Meanwhile, the 25-year-old has been linked with clubs like Manchester United as well. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Manchester City will probably be a more attractive destination. The Citizens have a stable project, and they are competing for trophies already. On the other hand, Manchester City are going through a period of rebuilding.
At Manchester City, Vinicius Junior will be able to work with one of the best managers of all time. Pep Guardiola might be able to unlock his true potential and take his game to another level. The Brazilian is still only 25, and there is room for improvement with the right guidance.
