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.
Although 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.
