Real Madrid has reportedly received a world-record fee in an offer for Vinicius Junior, with PSG said to be the possible party behind the offer. According to Sportskeeda, the valuation is around €250 million. This will be a sum that would break even Neymar’s previous world record and make Vinícius the most transferred player ever. The big interest comes at a time when Real Madrid’s acquisition of Kylian Mbappé lately seems to have complicated
Vinicius’s starting position in Madrid. If the Brazilian takes the escape route and looks forward to new challenges under new horizons at Parc Des Princes, he might fill the void of Mbappe in PSG.
PSG and Vinicius
This is an extraordinary valuation, perhaps, given the need to have a marquee player as Kylian Mbappé leaves for good and Lionel Messi just quits the place. This will be the record transfer fee ever paid if it finally happens. The 2017 transfer from Barcelona to PSG by Neymar would be Rs 222 billion.
The new roster changes at Real Madrid will also affect their thinking about the offer. Vinícius, despite being an epic player for Madrid, the addition of new talents like Jude Bellingham, as well as other superstars, means Madrid’s first line has a lot more liberty. Therefore, this offer from PSG, which is one of the clubs with deep pockets, shows that it stands as proof of market value and his skill level; however, for Madrid management, the main question is how much these financial benefits outweigh the importance to their long-term ambitions.
Other clubs
This might give a new dimension to Chelsea’s interest as the club looks to strengthen their attacking department in this rebuilding phase. With Madrid likely to see the Brazilian winger as a central figure for the future, it will be interesting to see if they will think of such a record offer or resist the temptation to sell a player of his calibre at peak.
