The transfer market is in full swing in 2026!

According to The Guardian, Chelsea is willing to offer 135 million pounds (approximately R$ 990 million) to sign forward Vinícius Júnior.

Target at Santiago Bernabéu?

The English club's move comes at a time of fragility in the relationship between the player and the Real Madrid fans.

Despite a good performance in the 5-1 victory over Betis this Sunday (4th), the number 7 was booed by some fans at the stadium.

Vini is experiencing an unusual drought of 15 games without scoring, and the dissatisfaction in the Spanish capital could be Chelsea's trump card to convince him to change scenery, according to the British newspaper.

Renewal Stalemate

The Brazilian's current contract with Real Madrid runs until June 2027, but the Spanish giant has encountered difficulties in renewing it.

Vini would like a contract similar to Kylian Mbappé's, a situation that has created a stalemate.

The Guardian also points out three factors that could weigh in favor of a change of scenery in 2026:

The forward is not happy with recent criticism.
Negotiations for a contract extension have not yet reached a positive conclusion.
The player himself publicly admitted that his individual performance is below expectations and that he hopes for a better 2026.
