#4 Vinicius Junior
This name will not ring a bell to many but both the La Liga giants went head-to-head for the Brazilian wonderkid from Flamengo and were even willing to pay €45 million for a player who was just 16 and only played 17 minutes of senior football.
Vinicius Jr. got the attention of Real Madrid and Barcelona during the Under-17 South American Championship in March 2017. He helped Brazil win the championship with 7 goals and was named the tournament's best player.
Both the Spanish clubs were working out deals to sign him in May but the Galacticos trumped Barcelona to secure his signature for a hefty price tag which will be effective only in July 2018 when the Brazil youth international turns 18.
According to his agent, "Vinicius Junior opted to join Real Madrid instead of Barcelona because he preferred their project more even though the Barcelona offered him more money"
