Vinicius Jr: The English option is heating up

Vinicius Jr’s new destination becomes clearer

The love story between Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid appears to be approaching a decisive turning point. Increasingly isolated in the dressing room, at odds with Xabi Alonso, and losing influence in Madrid's play, the 25-year-old Brazilian now sees his future unfolding far from Santiago Bernabéu. All signs point to his career potentially bouncing back across the Channel.

Long protected by Florentino Pérez, Vinicius has seen his status weakened over recent months. His tensions with the coach and his visible frustration on the bench against Barça have left their mark. In Madrid, the club's management is no longer ruling out a departure, especially if a blockbuster offer arrives from England. According to several Spanish sources, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea are closely monitoring his situation, ready to offer him a central role and a fresh challenge in a more attacking and less tactically rigid environment.

The irresistible pull of the Premier League

The prospect appeals to Vinicius, who has never hidden his admiration for English football—more direct, more spectacular. At 25, the Brazilian winger could rediscover the freedom of expression that made him one of Europe's most feared players. His explosive and unpredictable profile fits perfectly with the Premier League's standards, where open spaces and rapid transitions make all the difference.

If he leaves Madrid next summer, the Brazilian would join a league ready to welcome him, while Real would be preparing to close the chapter on an era defined by his talent and flashes of brilliance. The 2026 transfer window could well seal an inevitable parting of ways.
