Over the last week, new links have emerged between Vinicius Jr and Manchester United.
The links have emerged with the winger subbing Real Madrid’s advances to enter conversations about a new contract.
Despite being contracted until 2027, Madrid are keen to secure the Brazilian’s services for even longer to reward him for his recent contributions.
Since moving to the Spanish capital back in 2018 from Brazilian side Flamengo for £37.75 million (€45 million), Vini has scored 92 goals and grabbed 82 assists in 279 games, with his contributions increasing over the years.
Over the seven years at Madrid, over 50% of his goal contributions have come in the last two years, with the 2021/22 being his breakthrough campaign.

His contributions to the club have helped Madrid secure three LaLiga titles, three Supercopas, two Champions League titles, two FIFA Club World Cups, a Copa del Rey, and a UEFA Supercup.
Now, his individual contributions how been recently recognised with a nomination for the Ballon d’Or where he was runner-up to Manchester City’s Rodri.
So, the prospect of Manchester United landing the star’s signature would be a massive boost for the club.
However, United aren’t the only club circling, with Chelsea and PSG also looking at Vinicius Jr to boost their attack.
Real Madrid respond to interest in Vinicius Jr
PSG lost star man Kylian Mbappe this summer to Madrid, so Vini moving the other way would certainly fill that hole.
However, Fabrizio Romano has recently reported that Madrid are very clear on their position with regards to their star winger.
The sports journalist has reported that the Spanish champions are refusing to consider losing their man, branding him as “untouchable”.
This standpoint is certainly very clear that United would have to offer and astronomical deal in order to secure Vinicius Jr any time soon.
