Confirmed, Vinícius Júnior draws interest from 2 Premier League giants

Vinícius Júnior delivered a memorable performance against Olympiacos last Wednesday. He didn't score, but he excelled the brightest, creating very good chances  for Real Madrid. Mbappé took advantage of that imbalance to score four goals in a night that will remain in the memory of Madridists and could mark a turning point in the season.

However, despite his footballing contribution, Vinícius Júnior is at the center of an issue that deeply concerns Real Madrid's board. His contract renewal is proving especially complicated due to the financial terms demanded by the "7". In order to sign a new contract, Vini is asking to earn €30 million net per year, a figure similar to what Cristiano Ronaldo earned in his day.

Vinícius Júnior's demand could end with his departure

Florentino Pérez has already told Vinícius Júnior that he won't reach the requested amount. However, in an attempt to reach an agreement, the president has put a €20 million offer on the table, but the player has rejected it. In this scenario, the fact that his contract ends in 2027 increases the tension and forces Real Madrid to consider uncomfortable scenarios such as his departure from Bernabéu.

Moreover, to make matters worse, his relationship with Xabi Alonso isn't the best in the world either. Disagreements over certain behaviors on the field have created a complicated atmosphere between the two. This combination could lead to the unexpected, yet inevitable, sale of Vinícius Júnior.

Premier League steps in strongly: Manchester United and Liverpool target Vinícius Júnior

Vinícius Júnior won't lack offers. Until recently, Saudi Arabia seemed to be his most likely destination, but the landscape has completely changed with the emergence of two Premier League giants.

The first is Manchester United, which is looking to rebuild its sports project with new stars capable of exciting the fans. At Old Trafford, they need an offensive reference and believe Vinícius Júnior fits perfectly in that role. His speed, his imbalance, and his ability to drive the attack make him a strategic target.

The second team interested in Vinícius Júnior is Liverpool. The club is preparing a deep restructuring after a disappointing start to the season. Salah's departure, whose contract ends in the summer and who intends to spend his final stage away from the European elite, forces them to look for a top-level replacement.

His departure seems complicated, but not impossible. If Vinícius keeps his stance and Florentino Pérez doesn't increase the offer, Real Madrid could be forced to listen to proposals. The Premier League, with its unlimited financial power, would be the most likely destination.
