Overview
- Multiple reports say Chelsea have explored a transfer worth roughly €150m (£135m) for Vinícius Júnior.
- One account, cited by Yahoo via Fichajes, details a proposal structured at €125m guaranteed plus €25m in performance variables.
- Reporting describes renewal talks as stalled and indicates Real Madrid are considering all scenarios to protect their salary model.
- A later update from El Chiringuito, relayed by Yahoo, claims Chelsea will not meet the player’s pay demands and is therefore not viewed by him as an option.
- The Brazilian’s contract runs to June 2027, and recent boos at the Bernabéu have intensified scrutiny over his future.
