Vinicius will make a decision at the end of the season
ESPN made a revelation about the Brazilian’s future. As you know, Vini was approached by Saudi Arabia, who want to make him their football ambassador for the country before the 2034 World Cup. If Madrid is categorical and does not want to let him leave, the player himself is not insensitive to this proposal. If the argument of winning the Ballon d’Or certainly motivated his choice to stay in Spain, we will see next year if that will still be enough. Further proof that the Brazilian is not certain to stay in Madrid is the refusal of his clan to discuss a contract extension. Still according to ESPNVinicius will wait until the end of this season to make a decision on his future. As a reminder, representatives of the Saudi Public Investment Fund have contacted Vinicius and Madrid for an agreement. They have offered an annual salary of up to €350 million, making him the highest paid athlete in the world.
Juve accelerates
The Old Lady has registered two new recruits in the money time of the transfer window as the poster states. Corriere dello Sport on its front page. Juve reportedly made a loan offer with an obligation to buy accepted by Fiorentina for Nico Gonzalez. Juve immediately pays €8M then €25 in February and €5 in bonuses. The Argentinian will sign a contract until 2029 for €4M per season. The other recruit is called Francisco Conceiçao. This is a loan. The different parties are still discussing whether or not to include a purchase option. The Turin club reportedly made a loan offer paying between €7M and €8M with an OA. A proposal refused by FC Porto who wants an obligation to buy in the transfer. Despite everything, an agreement would be very close to being reached.
From dream to nightmare for Zirkzee
THE Daily Star symbolises Manchester United’s pain with a pun on Joshua Zirkzee on its front page. The striker had a rather improbable day yesterday. Hero of the first match, he was the one who sent Manchester into the doldrums. While the score was 1-1, the Dutchman touched the ball before it went into the empty net on a shot from Garnacho, and an offside was therefore whistled, thus disallowing the goal. Behind, Manchester cracked in the 95th after Joao Pedro’s goal, losing 2-1. A terrible outcome for Zirkzee, he who had had a dream debut last weekend.
