“I’m done living in Mbappé’s shadow—I know my worth and what I bring to any team. It’s time for me to step out and shine on my own. I want to leave Real Madrid, and there are only two teams I’d consider right now: Chelsea or Arsenal. But if I’m honest, Chelsea is my first choice. Real Madrid can keep Mbappé—I’m ready to move on. Vinícius Jr. makes his intentions clear
Vinicius Jr, the Brazilian sensation, has sent shockwaves through the football world by revealing that there is only one club he would consider leaving Real Madrid for. This bombshell comes as he prepares to take on Pachuca in the Intercontinental Cup final, a match that could see him add yet another trophy to his already impressive collection.
Vinicius Jr’s rise to the top of the football world has been nothing short of meteoric. His recent crowning as the best men’s player at the 2024 FIFA Best Awards is a testament to his incredible talent and dedication to the sport. This achievement is all the more impressive given his controversial snub for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, which was awarded to Manchester City’s Rodri.
As Vinicius Jr takes to the field against Pachuca, he will be looking to add to his already impressive trophy haul. Since joining Real Madrid from Flamengo in 2018, he has won an astonishing 13 trophies, including three La Liga titles, two Champions League titles, and two FIFA Club World Cup trophies. His success on the pitch has been matched by his growing reputation as one of the most exciting and dynamic players in the world.
Vinicius Jr’s impressive form has also seen his transfer value skyrocket to €200m (£165m), making him the joint-most valuable player in the world alongside Erling Haaland. This staggering valuation is a testament to his incredible talent and his importance to Real Madrid’s success. With a contract that runs until 2027, Vinicius Jr shows no signs of leaving Real Madrid anytime soon, and it’s clear that he will continue to be a key player for the Spanish giants for years to come.
