These days all the scouters are very busy watching all the games of the South American Tournament Under 17 that it’s taking place in Chile. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona have eyed the star of the tournament, Vinicius Junior, and they will try to tie him in the future.
Brazil beat on Tuesday Ecuador (3-0) with two goals scored by Vinicius Junior, the star of the tournament. Brazil are leading the Hexagonal Group with 7 points in only three games and all the scouters are amazed by the quality showed by Vinicius Junior. His quality is similar to Neymar, people said.
He’s currently 16 years old and he’s playing for Flamengo. Despite his young age, he has already signed a professional contract with Flamengo with a release clause of €30M. He stood up recently in the Copinha, a tournament played recently, and he’s shining again in the South American Under 17 tournament.
According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Real Madrid and Barcelona have eyed Vinicius and they are already in talks with Flamengo and the player. Also some Premier League teams are interested in the young jewel, but he doesn’t have an agreement with any club. However, all the teams have to wait until he turns 18 to reach a deal with Vinicius.
According to the reports received by the scouters, Vinicius is a different player and people already say that he will be a star very soon. Barcelona have always a closer eye than Real Madrid in the Brazilian market, so Los Blancos don’t want to lose the opportunity this time to sign a pearl. Florentino Pérez has changed strategy very recently and they’re signing very young talents from everywhere. Odegaard, Sergio Díaz or Asensio are some examples of this new politics. Will Vinicius become the next rising star in football?
