“(Paquetá) is a friend I have in football. I have a great affection for him, and he has a great affection for me,” Vini Jr began, in an interview given to Casimiro Miguel in 2022. Later, the Real Madrid player talked about returning to Mengão.

“We are looking at when we will return to Flamengo, we are deciding the year. But it's not now. Europe is cool, but in the end (of the career). I have to return to win the Libertadores, to complete the cycle,” said the forward revealed at Flamengo.

HOW ABOUT BEING HAPPY, VINI?

Vini Jr is dissatisfied at Real Madrid. Booed by the fans in recent games, the player even changed his photo on social media. While he used to proudly display the club's jersey, now the Flamengo product appears in the Brazilian National Team outfit.

Moreover, last week, Vini Jr was once again the target of regrettable racist acts. Before the Copa del Rey match against Albacete (ESP), fans sang a song calling the red-black player a “monkey.” Therefore, Vinicius, come be happy at home!

WHAT'S MISSING FOR PAQUETÁ TO JOIN FLAMENGO?

Between Flamengo and Paquetá, everything is set. Only the agreement with West Ham is missing, as they wish to keep the player until May, when the Premier League ends. However, Mengão and the player want the deal to happen immediately. According to the report by Coluna do Fla, a new round of talks will take place this Saturday (17).
