Vinicius Jr rose through the ranks of Brazilian outfit Flamengo, impressing with his skill and agility in the early stages of his career.

A Flamengo youth academy product, the Brazilian forward excelled in Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. He made 49 appearances, scoring 10 goals and contributing four assists.

Real Madrid would seal an astronomical €46 million deal for the Flamengo star in 2017. His first three seasons with Los Blancos certainly didn't attract much attention, with the youngster managing just eight goals in that period.

Vincius Jr would bounce back in the 2021-22 season, linking up with Madrid's talisman Karim Benzema to forge one of Europe's deadliest duos.

Quick-footed with the ball and possessing mesmerizing speed, Vincius Jr has shined throughout the campaign and has won over Madristas with his extraordinary ability.

La Liga has been the home to a number of iconic Brazilians in the past, with the likes of Neymar Jr, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo having flourished on Spanish shores. Vinicius Jr is the latest Samba star to electrify fans with each passing performance.

In October of 2020, the young Brazilian drew the ire of Benzema during a Champions League fixture with Borussia Monchengladbach. So much so that the Frenchman advised left-back Ferland Mendy not to pass to the former Flamengo star because he had been 'playing against them'.

Fast forward two years and Los Blancos players would do anything to get the speedy star on the ball. Vinicius Jr has now put pen to paper on a new deal following a campaign that has seen him position himself as La Liga's next Brazilian superstar.
