According to a report from Spain, they have already made a formal enquiry for the 25-year-old Brazilian, and it remains to be seen whether they follow up with an official proposal to him.

Chelsea eye Vinicius Junior move

Real Madrid were hoping to secure a contract with the South American attacker, but negotiations between the two parties have reached a dead end. Chelsea is looking to capitalise on the situation and secure his signature.

The 25-year-old is a world-class player who could make a big difference in Chelsea’s attack. The Blues invested in players like Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens at the start of the season. However, both players have been underwhelming. Chelsea needs more cutting-edge in the final third, and a 25-year-old could transform them.

He is exceptional when it comes to taking on defenders in one-versus-one situations, and he will add explosive pace and unpredictability to the attack.

Premier League move could tempt Vinicius

The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for the Brazilian. He has shown his quality in La Liga, and he has won major trophies with Real. He could be taking a new challenge now.

Meanwhile, Chelsea could offer him a lucrative contract as well. The report claims that they could offer him a salary in excess of £500,000 per week. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Real Madrid will not want to lose the player easily, and they could demand a premium for him. Chelsea would have to break the bank to get the deal done.
