Reports: Chelsea and Man United Register Interest in Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior

Real Madrid could consider a sale next year if no contract extension is agreed, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes.

Overview

  • Fichajes, relayed by Football Talk and CaughtOffside, reports that Chelsea and Manchester United have registered interest in the 25-year-old winger.
  • The same reporting links Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, with PSG described as showing the most concrete interest.
  • Vinicius is under contract until 2027, and the outlets say Madrid may cash in next year to avoid the risk of a free departure.
  • Coverage notes a reduced starting role since Kylian Mbappé’s arrival and frustration shown after being substituted late in last weekend’s El Clásico.
  • Transfermarkt lists a valuation near £140m, and analysis contends he would upgrade wide attacking options, with Carlo Ancelotti previously calling him “the most decisive player in the world.”
