DBasia.news – After conducting the Alvaro Odriozola presentation, Real Madrid is now doing the same thing to the 18-year-old Brasilian wonderkid, Vinicius Junior.
Vinicius was bought in 45 million euro from Flamengo a year ago. But, he will do the transfer this year when he is already 18. Vinicius was announced to the public along with Ronaldo (Brasil’s legend), agent, and his family, also Madrid president, Florentino Perez.
There was a rumor that Vinicius will be loaned to the other club for exercise and adaptation to play in Europe because he didn’t have any jersey number.
But, Vinicius rejected the issue and said he will play with Madrid and starts the new era with Julen Lopetegui, former Spain national team coach.
“Fortunately I was able to choose from many great clubs and I chose the world’s best. I will stay at Madrid, I will be in the first team and they will decide if I should play some games with Castilla to adapt as quickly as possible,” said Vinicius to Marca.
The choice depends on Lopetegui. Vinicius may be involved in the pre-season tour of El Real before joining the main squad. Or he can also place him in Real Madrid Castilla until ready to play.
Vinicius is compared with Neymar due to his playing style. Perez is happy can strengthen the squad with young talents after Cristiano Ronaldo’s leave.
“Madrid is strengthening the process of searching for young players that can soon become great figures of the sport. We said the other day that we would add magnificent players to our squad and that is what we are doing with Alvaro Odriozola and now Vinicius,” said Perez.
“He has seduced us with his incredible dribbling, technique, speed, and goals. We believe that he’s going to be one of the greatest of this new era that is approaching,” he explained.
