Fabrizio Romano has refuted recent speculation connecting Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. to transfers involving Manchester United, Chelsea, or other prominent European teams. Notwithstanding the Brazilian winger’s exceptional performance and his runner-up position in the 2024 Ballon d’Or rankings, Romano has characterized these conjectures as “not even realistic.” He affirmed that there are no current conversations with prominent European clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea, or PSG.
Vinicius Jr., a prominent talent in global football, has apparently attracted interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, recognized for their bold transfer activities. Al-Hilal is reportedly preparing a staggering €300 million offer for the Real Madrid star, a sum that would surpass Neymar’s record transfer to PSG in 2017. Previous reports included a €1 billion, five-year proposition from Saudi clubs; however, Romano confirmed that Real Madrid has not received any formal approaches.
Although European teams seem to be excluded, the Saudi Pro League’s aspiration to get a high-profile signing such as Vinicius maintains the intrigue of the transfer drama. Currently, Real Madrid is concentrated on maintaining its key player, who is integral to their present and future strategies. The club is engaged in other prospective transfer negotiations, with reports associating them with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland. Moreover, there is conjecture over the potential incorporation of Aurelien Tchouameni in a transaction involving Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez, while the emerging prospect Endrick may be loaned away in January.
Vinicius Jr.’s imminent future appears securely associated with Real Madrid, lacking any serious connections to European clubs at now. Nevertheless, the financial strength of the Saudi Pro League may still challenge Madrid’s determination. The winger will continue to impress supporters at the Santiago Bernabéu as Real Madrid seeks to uphold its supremacy in both local and international competitions.
