Chelsea want 14-G/A star but rivals favourites in €150m Premier League swoop
Vinicius Junior has been linked with a move away from Real Madrid in recent months.
According to a report from Fichajes, the club is not happy with his inconsistent performances, and the relationship between the player and the club is at its lowest point. There have been rumours of a contract extension, but the negotiations have now completely stalled. The player has reportedly rejected the latest extension offer, and with one year remaining on his current deal, Real Madrid is now exploring a potential sale.
Chelsea is interested in signing the 25-year-old Brazilian attacker, but it will face competition from Manchester City. The report claims that Manchester City are now clear favourites to sign the player, and a formal offer of around €150 million is already on the table. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid is prepared to let him leave in the coming months.
The player is highly rated by Pep Guardiola, who believes the Brazilian would be an ideal fit for his system. Signing him would send out a major statement of intent from the Premier League club as well.
Manchester City is one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they regularly fight for major trophies. The South American is likely to be attracted to the idea of joining them.
It remains to be seen whether Chelsea are prepared to compete with Manchester City with an attractive offer as well.
Both clubs could be exciting destinations for the attacker. He has proven himself in Spain, and he could look to take on a new challenge in English football now. The 25-year-old is a world-class player, but his numbers have not been ideal this season. He has 14 goal contributions to his name in all competitions.
