How much can Flamengo profit from the sale of Vini Jr?

Amid the possible departure of Vini Jr to Chelsea, Flamengo, the club where the forward was trained, is keeping an eye on the situation. After all, due to FIFA's solidarity mechanism, the Mengão is entitled to a share of the negotiation amount.

Vinicius Júnior was at Flamengo from the age of 12 to 18, when he transferred to Real Madrid, accounting for 2.5% of a future negotiation. Thus, if the forward is negotiated for the speculated amount, the Rubro-Negro would receive R$ 24.7 million.

How is Vini Jr performing in the 2025 season?

Under the command of Xabi Alonso, Vinicius Júnior is not having the best moment in the 2025/26 season. This year, the forward has played 29 matches, scored six goals, and provided nine assists.

However, Vini Jr has not scored for Real Madrid in 16 games. As a result, the number 7 was booed by the fans as he left the field in the 5-1 victory against Real Betis (ESP) in the Spanish Championship.
