Vinicius Junior to Chelsea: A Potential Threat to Current Forwards
Chelsea are reportedly monitoring the situation of Vinicius Junior, a Brazilian winger currently playing for Real Madrid, amidst growing claims that he could leave the Bernabeu.
According to the Chelsea Chronicle and transfer insider Graeme Bailey, Chelsea have Vinicius Junior "on their radar" and are ready to make a move if he decides to leave Real Madrid.
Madrid have told the player he "will be sold" if he hasn’t penned a new contract by next summer.
This potential signing could cause issues for two current Chelsea forwards, valued at £92m, as Vinicius Junior's arrival could threaten their positions in the team.
Vinicius Junior's contract is set to expire in June 2027, and Real Madrid are keen to avoid losing him for free, which is why they are willing to sell him if a new contract is not signed.
