Real Madrid have a track record of creating some of the biggest superstars in football. That is why they are always scouting the market, looking for players who could become the next big thing.
Also, the situation with Vinicius Junior is making Madrid furious. The 25-year-old is not renewing his contract as he is asking for the same wages that Kylian Mbappe earns at Bernabeu.
His Real Madrid contract will expire in 2027. So, Madrid want to renew his contract this year. Otherwise, they would be ready to part ways with Vinicius.
For years, the Brazilian winger seemed untouchable. He is one of the faces of Madrid’s modern era. Yet, the idea of a possible Vinicius departure is no longer a wild thought.
A huge offer from Europe or the Middle East could force the club into selling him, as the club doesn’t want to lose their star forward for free.
Also, Madrid know that they need a replacement in case Vinicius leaves the club. That is why Real Madrid are already preparing for the future.
Now, the spotlight has fallen on a teenage prodigy in the English second tier. Still only 16, this youngster has been tipped as one of the brightest prospects of his generation.
According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are looking at Jeremy Monga of Leicester City as a possible replacement for Vinicius Junior in case the Brazilian leaves next year.
The English winger has already made a senior debut at just 15. In England, many already describe him as the jewel of tomorrow.
Florentino Perez has long believed in investing early in teenage stars, a strategy that once brought Vinicius from Brazil. Now, history could repeat with Monga.
