Since joining Real Madrid from Flamengo in 2018, he has been a major surprise.

The 24-year-old has scored 10 goals or more each year for the last three years in 238 games for the team.

Madrid wanted Kylian Mbappe even if they believed Vinicius couldn’t be traded.

The French player would play on the left wing in place of Vinicius. He would be the highest-paid player in the world at the Bernabeu, but he is probably going to sign for free at the end of the current campaign.

To retain Mbappe, Madrid would need to spend over £30 million a year, even if he earned over £600,000 each week. This is because the transfer charge would be reduced.

At least £150 million would need to be invested during Mbappe’s contract.

These figures are absurd. Sport claims that to pay for Mbappe’s arrival, Madrid may need to sell Vinicius.

According to reports, United is prepared to spend £130 million on the Brazilian. For them, this might be excellent news.

Whether Vinicius would accept relocating to Old Trafford if it meant missing out on the Champions League is still up in the air.

Arsenal leads United by eight points and has a game left. United is now in fourth position.

By the beginning of February, Sir Jim Ratcliffe wants to be in charge of all things football-related. The club will appoint a new head of hiring, a head of sports, and a new CEO to oversee the operations.
