CHELSEA complete the signing of £100m winger who netted 20 goals last season, personal terms reached Today as announcement will be done tomorrow morning
The relationship between Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr appears to be experiencing turbulence currently. From an external perspective, tensions seem evident. The Brazilian’s form has been declining for several months now. Despite Xabi Alonso’s exit, speculation surrounding the winger’s future at Santiago Bernabeu continues to persist. Could a transfer to Chelsea be a realistic possibility?
Vinicius’ existing contract with Real Madrid is understood to expire in summer 2027. Multiple Spanish media sources suggest that negotiations for a contract extension have hit an impasse, further fueling uncertainty about his continued presence at Los Blancos.
His recent on-field displays have only intensified the speculation. He appears a far cry from the player who was once widely tipped to claim the Ballon d’Or.
Football365 reports that Spanish media outlets are now suggesting Vinicius has ‘already reached’ an agreement to depart Real Madrid for Chelsea during the summer transfer window in a €150 million deal. The report states:
“The Brazilian forward ‘has already finalized arrangements to become their marquee signing next summer’ with Chelsea ‘ready to submit a record-breaking offer of €150 million to persuade Real Madrid and execute one of the most significant transfers ever recorded’.”
Naturally, it’s understandable why Real Madrid might consider accepting such a substantial offer for a player entering the final year of his contract while experiencing a significant dip in performance. However, would Chelsea genuinely pursue this type of signing?
Under current ownership, Chelsea has consistently prioritized recruiting young talent, often neglecting the importance of experience and established quality. Therefore, pursuing Vinicius would clearly contradict their established transfer strategy.
Furthermore, what would attract Vinicius to Chelsea at this juncture? Should the Brazilian decide to leave Real Madrid, he would undoubtedly have numerous elite clubs competing for his signature. Meanwhile, Chelsea has struggled to even secure Champions League qualification in recent seasons.
