Vinicius junior is undoubtedly one of the most crucial players in the world today. The Brazilian shines on Real Madrid and has already won two Uefa Champions League titles As a key figure, but when he came out of Flamengo he was very close to writing for Barcelona. Now the real reason he did not sign with the Catalan Club and did it with the Merengue team was revealed.
The goals, the assistants, the luxury, the titles and even the controversy he has experienced in Spain in recent times have all been in Carlo Ancelotti’s team. However, the story could have been completely different because the Brazilian forward had arranged to join Barcelona. But … what happened and why wasn’t it materialized?
Why yes to Real Madrid and no to Barcelona?
Each time a new gem is booming that promises to become one of the best players in the world, the European giants rub to keep it. And if the project is even more hopeful, It is a fact that Barcelona and Real Madrid are among the candidates. Vini was no exception and that was exactly what happened.
André Cury is an important man in football and was crucial to transfers of different stars from Brazil. For example, he represented Neymar, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and Deco, among others. In addition, the three most expensive sales in South America passed through his hands: Estevao to Chelsea (EUR 63 million) and Vitor Roque and Ney to Barcelona (62 and 61 million respectively).
The representative who was close to many Brazilian figures also worked for Barcelona in the market for his country. In that sentence, Cury acknowledged that he himself conducted the negotiations to hire Vinicius, but left a phrase that made a lot of sound. “The family and agents changed in a not particularly transparent manner,” he said in an interview with the Spanish media As.
Then he expanded his speech and added details that were completely unknown so far. “We met Vinicius and his agents at their own request. We wanted to sign him when I worked for Barcelona. Everything was ready to sign. But football is so … ”Revocated André Cury about the operation that was closed in EUR 45 million.

He also referred to the Ballon d’Or scandal that occurred a few months ago. “For me it was for Real Madrid but for Bellingham. He is a midfielder who works defensively, but who contributed 28 goals and 17 assists during the season. If a midfielder did not win it, when will he come? Modric won it and did not have his numbers. Rodri is a fantastic player, such as Bellingham and Vinicius, ” He analyzed.
Then he compared Vini’s situation when he arrived at Real Madrid with Endrick’s current situation and said: “Vinicius started playing two and a half years after he arrived. Clubs must be patience with such young players. Then you ask yourself why you make the investment if after three months you will want to give him to any team. They must be patience. “
