Paquetá has shown several times that he wishes to play again with Vini Jr for Flamengo. The midfielder even revealed conversations he has with the forward and said he is waiting for the Real Madrid (ESP) player at Ninho do Urubu.
— We talk a lot and I told him: ‘I’m here, now we just need you. Come because we have to fulfill what we promised.’ I am sure that at the right moment he will be returning to Flamengo -, he said in an interview with ESPN.
Vini Jr has a contract with Real Madrid until June 2027. That is, the Flamengo prodigy is tied to the Madrid team for another year and a half. However, the forward can sign a pre-agreement with any club starting January 2027.
Paquetá and Vini Jr played for Flamengo in the 2017 season, before the forward transferred to Real Madrid. The athletes have played together 67 times, whether for the Most Beloved or the Brazilian National Team.
The last time Paquetá and Vini Jr were on the field wearing the red and black colors was on June 13, 2018, in a 1-1 draw against Palmeiras, for the Brasileirão. Since then, the players have only played on the same team for the Brazilian National Team.
