After announcing the return of Lucas Paquetá, Flamengo is now targeting the signing of another former player: Vinicius Júnior. The red-and-black team is monitoring the contractual situation of the Cria do Ninho do Urubu and is making plans to try to reach a deal aiming for 2027.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’, Flamengo plans to have Vinicius Júnior in 2027, in a free transfer. The possibility gained momentum after public statements from the club’s director of football, José Boto.
— Without Paquetá, this transfer would have been impossible. No matter how financially healthy we are. This shows how much he loves Flamengo. Next, we’re going to talk (with the staff) of Vini Jr. When does the contract end, president? There’s no need to pay anything to Real Madrid (laughs) — said José Boto, last Monday (02).
Vinicius Júnior has a contract with Real Madrid (ESP) until June 2027. However, the former Flamengo player has not yet agreed to renew his contract with the Spanish club. As a result, the team has raised the alert for a possible sale, in order not to lose him for free.
Despite this, Real Madrid’s focus remains on keeping Vinicius Júnior in the squad. The club’s president, Florentino Pérez, has already officially stated that he does not intend to let go of the player and that renewal is a priority.
In the meantime, while the renewal with Real Madrid has not been made official, Vinicius Júnior is being targeted by several European football clubs. Among them are Chelsea (ENG), PSG (FRA), Liverpool (ENG), Manchester City (ENG), and Arsenal (ENG).
