Vinicius Jr’s agent hasn’t ruled out the possibility of the Real Madrid star one day moving to the Premier League – although he says that’s unlikely to happen just yet.

Vini Jr has been linked with a switch to England lately, especially given talk that Real have reignited their interest in Kylian Mbappe.

But the Brazilian’s agent, Frederico Pena, has suggested that the 22-year-old could spend the rest of his career with the LaLiga giants.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Pena addressed speculation touting Vini Jr for a Premier League move. He said:

“I can’t really see that happening right now – but who knows: these things change in football and there’s things you would never imagine seeing that happen. I would just say if he were to leave Real Madrid someday, it would make no sense for it to be somewhere other than the Premier League.

“But will he one day leave Real Madrid or will he be a one-club kind of player? I would tell you right now there’s a big chance that he’s the kind of player who stays [at] one club and makes history there and stays for 15-plus years.”

Aiming to fire Real to more European glory

Only the evergreen Karim Benzema has scored more goals for Real this term than Vini Jr – who’s found the net 23 times in all competitions, including 12 in LaLiga.

Seven of those goals have come in the Champions League – in which he notched the winner in last season’s final against Liverpool.

Vini Jr also opened the scoring in Real’s 1-1 semi-final first leg draw against Manchester City, unleashing one of the most ferocious strikes of the season at the Bernabeu.
