According to the newspaper The Guardian, Chelsea is planning a 160 million euro offer for Vinícius Júnior. The English club seeks to take advantage of the Brazilian's moment of maximum vulnerability in Spain.

The winger's sporting situation is critical after an evident drop in performance. This bad moment coincides with a total lack of harmony with Xabi Alonso, whose rigid and cold methodology seems to have clashed head-on with the player's style.

Chelsea sees in this conflict the perfect opportunity to make a decisive move. For Vinícius, London could represent the necessary restart to recover his best footballing version.
