A shocking rumour in Spain claims that Chelsea is planning a €150 million offer for Real Madrid sensation Vinicius Junior. The Brazil international’s current deal at the Bernabeu has eighteen months left, and it has been stated that he won’t sign new terms with the 15-time Champions League winners unless his relationship with Xabi Alonso improves.
The two have faced off several times this season, and it is believed that Vinicius may be sold this year to pay for the acquisition of a new striker and central midfield player. The 25-year-old has been linked to an intriguing transfer to the Premier League in recent weeks, but many clubs in the Saudi Pro League are interested in signing him this summer.
Chelsea is currently the front-runner to recruit Vinicius from England, despite Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United being mentioned as potential destinations. This is according to Fichajes, who assert that the Blues have prepared a €150 million bid and are still looking into a potential deal for the Brazilian winger.
Chelsea plan €150m bid for Vinicius Junior
In an attempt to take advantage of Vini Jr’s present contractual predicament at Real Madrid, Chelsea is reportedly planning to make an initial bid of €125 million plus an additional €25 million in performance-related add-on clauses.
“Deep reflection is ongoing in Valdebebas,” according to Fichajes. Vinicius Jr’s worth is acknowledged by Real Madrid, but they also see pressure that extends beyond the pitch. With disproportionate renewals, the club does not want to make the same mistakes as in the past. Therefore, from an economic perspective, a sale near €150 million is beginning to be considered a sensible choice.
“Real Madrid would be able to maintain their sustainability model and bolster a number of important positions without sacrificing immediate competitiveness with such an income.” Vinicius would be amenable to joining Chelsea this year, according to Fichajes, and the Blues are allegedly prepared to present him with a deal that he finds acceptable.
Additionally, it has been widely reported that Real Madrid is willing to sell the Brazilian in 2026 and intends to utilise the proceeds to seek a lucrative move for Erling Haaland of Manchester City.
