Liverpool, Manchester United want disgruntled Real Madrid star with €120 million market value

Liverpool are all set to battle it out with Manchester United for the services of 22-year-old Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior.

According to Fichajes, Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in acquiring the services of Vinicius Junior. The 22-year-old Real Madrid forward is one of the best forwards going around, and there is a lot of interest in his services. However, his future has been uncertain of late because of the repeated racism incidents against him.

Los Blancos signed Vinicius Junior from Flamengo back in the summer of 2018. The Brazil international has gone from strength to strength over the past few seasons. He has established himself as one of the most important players for Real Madrid in the past two seasons.

As far as the ongoing season is concerned, the 22-year-old has 44 goal contributions in his 54 outings. He has found the back of the net on 23 occasions and also has 21 assists to his name. His current contract at Madrid runs until the summer of 2024.

However, the reports suggest that he has already signed a deal that will extend his contract until 2027. And Real Madrid will be officially announcing it soon. Los Blancos have no intention of letting the 22-year-old as he is one of their most prized possessions and has a very bright future ahead of him.

Even the player is keen on continuing at Real Madrid. However, recent events might have changed his opinion. The Brazil international has been subject to racism on multiple occasions. In their last outing against Valencia, the opposition fans directed racial slurs against the 22-year-old, and he was even involved in a heated argument that resulted in him being sent off.

The incident has been the talk of the town over the past few days, and Vinicius is not happy with how La Liga have been dealing with these incidents. And, he might have started considering his future elsewhere. Meanwhile, Premier League clubs are ready to push for his signature.

Their interest in the 22-year-old is quite understandable given the amount of talent he has and his performances over the last two windows. Manchester United want to reinforce their attack ahead of next season. They are looking to add goals to their ranks, and signing Vinicius will surely bolster their attack.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will push Manchester United all the way. The Merseyside club’s major focus at this point in time is strengthening their midfield. However, if Vinicius is available in the market, they might shift their attention to the 22-year-old as he is amongst the best talents in world football.

The Brazil international has a market value of around €120 million. But Madrid won’t let him leave unless they receive an offer of over €200 million. As a result, it will be interesting to see where the 22-year-old ends up playing his football next season. For now, Liverpool and Manchester United remain keen on signing him.
