In a surprising twist, Real Madrid are ready to sell Vinicius Jr to fund a deal with Kylian Mbappé, according to reports in Spain.

Vinicius, known for his dynamic playing style, recently showed off his skills with a remarkable hat-trick against Barcelona in the Supercopa final. This performance was part of his overall contribution of 136 goals in 241 appearances for Real Madrid. Despite his success, the arrival of Mpbapp, a top-rated player, could challenge his place in the team.

Mpbappe’s potential transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Madrid is being heavily discussed, with the possibility of him joining on a free transfer. However, his expected weekly salary of £600,000 would take the total cost of his contract up to £30m per year, totaling up to £150m over the entire duration.

Faced with these financial impacts, Spanish newspaper Sport reported that Real Madrid may sell Vinicius for a suitable price.

Manchester United, supported by British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS group after receiving investment approval from the Premier League, is said to be willing to pay 130 million pounds for the Brazilian star.

The potential transfer raises questions about Vinicius’s willingness to join United, especially considering they are currently ineligible to compete in the Champions League.

The Red Devils are 8 points behind fourth place, while Arsenal is holding an advantage in the match.

With full control expected from Sir Jim Ratcliffe at the beginning of February, Manchester United are set to undergo a significant overhaul. This includes the appointment of a new CEO, a sporting director and head of recruitment to manage football operations.
