Career

Vinicius Junior started his football training at an early age. When he was seven years old, his parents enrolled him at a famous club in Niteroi, south of São Gonçalo.

When his family’s finances began to deteriorate, he moved in with his uncle in São Paulo, close to his training ground. When he was nine years old, his parents took him to Flamengo’s academy for a trial.

Although the club saw potential in him, they asked him to wait a year to retest. In 2010, he took the test again in the youth of Flamengo and passed.

He made his professional senior debut in 2017 when he was 16 years old. His performance was memorable as he scored a goal for Flamengo and celebrated in unique style.

Two days after his professional debut, Flamengo announced the renewal of his contract, increasing his transfer from €30 to €45 million.

Although his transfer fee has been disputed by Football Scout, European clubs such as FC Barcelona or Real Madrid are willing to pay €45 to keep Vinicius in their squad under certain conditions.

At first his first choice was FC Barcelona, but his price and age were a problem and when Barcelona FC was still in doubt, Real Madrid made a move and made a €46 million transfer.

While his career with the national team began in March 2017, he was invited to represent Brazil at the South American Under-17 Championship.

He scored seven goals in the tournament and helped Brazil win for the twelfth time. In 2019, he made his senior debut representing Brazil.
