Reports suggest that Real Madrid is considering selling Vinicius Jr. to accommodate the arrival of PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe, a move that many consider a serious mistake.
Former Real Madrid midfielder Guti caused a stir when he ranked Vinicius Jr. above Kylian Mbappe as the best forward in European football during an interview with El Chiringuito in April last year.
Despite Mbappe’s impressive goal-scoring record for Paris Saint-Germain, Vinicius managed to accumulate 44 goal involvements of his own in the 2022-23 season, despite Real Madrid facing challenges as a team.
Despite their Copa del Rey triumph, Real Madrid’s performance in other competitions was disappointing, with Vinicius playing a crucial role in their successes against Liverpool and Chelsea in the Champions League.
Kylian MbappeAlthough injuries have disrupted Vinicius’ progress this season, he has remained influential since his return, particularly with a remarkable hat-trick in Real Madrid’s Supercopa final victory over Barcelona. His performance in that game showcased his exceptional decision-making in the final third, prompting Guti’s praise as a potential “God of football.”
However, despite his contributions, reports indicate that Real Madrid is willing to entertain offers for Vinicius to finance a deal for Mbappé, a pursuit that has spanned several years. This decision underscores the lack of appreciation Vinicius receives at Santiago Bernabéu and suggests that he may be better off exploring a transfer elsewhere to fulfill his potential.
