Chelsea eyes Vinicius Junior with a €150 million bid, potentially securing their future. Will the Brazilian superstar make Stamford Bridge his new home?
Reports of Chelsea lining up a bid for Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior have spread like wildfire not only in the capitals of Spain and England but also around the world.
According to rumours, Chelsea is preparing a bid of around €150 million for the Brazilian winger to secure their attacking line-up for the long term, as Vinicius is only 25 and is entering his prime.
There is a feeling of surprise amongst the football fraternity. Chelsea is not really known to make superstar signings and currently follow a transfer policy of signing young talents who are bound to become future stars, another Brazilian, Willian, being one of the latest examples of this system.
Now as reported by Spanish outlet Fichajes (h/t London World), the Blues are 'persistently' enquiring about Vinicius' situation at Madrid as the winger's contract is set to expire in 2027 and a new agreement between the two sides are yet to signed as the player wants a significant pay hike and Los Blancos are not prepared to make any changes to their current pay grade in the club.
It seems Real Madrid is also considering cashing in on the Brazilian, as Vini has shown interest in a move to the Premier League and Chelsea, where he would be able to take on the role of a marquee player and gain more exposure for his individual award ambitions.
Vinicius Junior could be the perfect fit for Chelsea
For Chelsea, Vinicius could be their key to European dominance, having already scored in two Champions League finals for Los Blancos.
Vini’s exciting style would make him a superstar for the London Club. Teaming up with Cole Palmer, they could become one of the top attacking duos in football for years.
The current situation could be compared to Neymar Jr.'s transfer from Barca to PSG, as he moved to Paris to get out of Lionel Messi's shadow, but unfortunately, he failed to take the Parisians to the next level. If Vini Jr. joins Chelsea, he would aim to make a big impact. This move could benefit both him and the club.
