Recently, there have been reports that Manchester United is interested in signing Vinicius Jr. for $165 million (£130 million). This would be a major signing for Manchester United, who are currently in a rebuilding phase under the new ownership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS.
How Vinicius Jr. could resolve Man Utd’s issues
Manchester United have recently been going through a creativity struggle along their lines. Players struggling to provide their recent star signing, Rasmus Hojlund. Due to this, Erik ten Hag is currently under massive scrutiny for the season going on.
Looking at how Vinicius Jr. likes to take on his man and always find the striker, he will only help Manchester United create more chances. Being confident on either foot, Vinicius Jr. always sends the opposition defender into multiple thoughts.
This addition would create space for his teammates, freeing up Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes to operate with more freedom. His creative spark could transform United’s attack from predictable plodding to a samba of attacking brilliance.
Kylian Mbappe could force a fan-favourite sale
Kylian Mbappe’s Real Madrid saga is still going strong. With the Frenchman edging ever closer to joining the Galacticos, it is causing tension at the higher end of Real Madrid. As Kylian Mbappe is likely to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, it won’t be as cheap as it seems for them.
Despite holding no transfer fees, Mbappe still holds a massive headache for Madrid in terms of his wages. It is estimated that Mbappe will be up for the wages of $38 million annually. Which basically would cost Real Madrid, $190 million for the entirety of his contract.
Holding such massive wages, Real Madrid would need to free up some wages as well by offloading some players. Vinicius Jr. could be a potential candidate for departure in this scenario. Even though Real Madrid would be getting a generational star in Kylian Mbappe they would also be ending up losing a fan favorite, Vinicius Jr as well.
