"Let's not forget Vini Jr. It's not a new thing that he's unsettled there. He's only got 18 months left on his deal and Real Madrid have told him that if he doesn't sign a new deal by next summer, he'll be sold. There's only a handful of clubs who can get him. I'm told he doesn't want to go to Saudi Arabia. In England, there's only Chelsea, City and Liverpool."
"I know these types of deals are not ones that Chelsea tend to do at the moment, but when someone like that comes on the market, I don't think that Todd Boehly would turn his nose up at that because he's a marquee, generational player. Imagine the commercial gains you can get off Vini Jr. Come next summer, if he's only got a year left, we're not talking £200m."
Vinicius Junior is unsettled at Real Madrid and has 18 months remaining on his contract. Real Madrid have warned he will be sold if he does not sign a new deal by next summer. Only a handful of clubs can realistically sign him, with Vinicius reportedly refusing a move to Saudi Arabia; in England the main suitors are Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool. Chelsea have previously looked at him and see commercial and marquee value that could attract owner investment despite not typically making such deals. If he reaches next summer with one year left, his fee would be lower than earlier estimates.
