According to AS, Real Madrid are now willing to sell Vinícius Júnior following a dismal run of form from the Brazilian.
The Spanish news outlet accuse the 20-year-old of losing his marker in the shock result against lower-league outfit Alcoyano.
AS then state that it was Vinícius Júnior who gave the penalty away against Levante, which kickstarted their comeback.
These incidents, in addition to a string of underwhelming displays, have allegedly changed Real Madrid’s stance on the South American.
Having deemed his exit as non-negotiable a year ago, Los Blancos are now open to offers for the precocious talent, who they have invested a lot into.
When he was just 16 years of age, Real Madrid paid £39.6 million to sign him from Flamengo.
They beat Manchester United and Barcelona to his services, according to the Guardian.
Real Madrid’s fresh stance on Vinícius Júnior should interest Arsenal and Liverpool.
Diario Madridista revealed last month that the Premier League duo were interested in signing the attacker, along with Paris Saint-Germain.
Vinícius Júnior has netted just two goals in La Liga this season, having made 17 appearances.
There’s no denying that he has talent, although it feels as if the Santiago Bernabeu is no longer the place for him to fulfil his potential.
