Vinicius Jr monitored by two shock Premier League clubs as Real Madrid star ‘turns down’ contract talks.”
Vinicius Junior’s future at Real Madrid has come under scrutiny, with two Premier League clubs reportedly keeping a close watch on the Brazilian winger. Following a disappointing second-place finish in the 2024 Ballon d’Or behind Manchester City’s Rodri, Vinicius has made headlines for more than just his on-field performance.
Rodri expressed his gratitude after winning the prestigious award, emphasizing the importance of his teammates and Manchester City in his success. “I try to be the best version of myself every day. I am a very calm person until I get upset. I would like to thank God and Manchester City, thank you so much; you are so special,” he said.
In the aftermath of the Ballon d’Or ceremony, Vinicius took to social media, vowing, “I will do it 10 times if I have to. They’re not ready,” signaling his determination to return stronger.
Recent reports from Relevo indicate that Vinicius has declined to enter discussions regarding a new contract at Real Madrid, despite his current deal running until 2027. This decision has piqued the interest of Premier League clubs, specifically Manchester United and Chelsea, as well as Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain. While PSG is not currently in negotiations, their interest remains due to the competitive nature between the two clubs.
Furthermore, clubs from the Saudi Pro League are also said to be contemplating a move for Vinicius, aiming to entice him with lucrative offers.
This season, the talented forward has made 15 appearances across all competitions, contributing eight goals and seven assists. Real Madrid will be looking to secure their star player as they prepare for their next challenge against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League next week.
The coming weeks could be crucial for Vinicius as he navigates his future amid rising interest from prominent clubs.
