Vinicius Junior: Real Madrid's future looks bright with him

Vinicius Junior is another talented player from Brazil who has a bright future ahead of him. His only club in Brazil had been Flamengo. Vinicius played 49 matches for Flamengo's first team and he scored 10 goals.

Barcelona and Real Madrid were among the first to express interest in signing the young striker after his outstanding performances.

In May 2017, at the age of 16, Vinícius was sold by Flamengo to Real Madrid, effective after his 18th birthday. This summer, Julen Lopetegui came to Real Madrid and he decided not to loan Vinicius back to Brazil.

Last weekend, Vinicius made his debut for Real Madrid's first team. He came on as a substitute against Atletico Madrid. Vinicius is one of the brightest young talents in world football, and this list is unimaginable without him.
