Posted on November 25, 2021 at 11:30 p.m. by The editorial staff In 2018, Vinicius Jr preferred to commit to Real Madrid rather than FC Barcelona. His agent, Federico Pena, was keen to explain this sudden change of mind when everything seemed close to being over with the Catalan club. In the summer of 2018, Vinicius Jr made a commitment to Real Madrid . If his passage has proved complicated so far, the Brazilian is finally living up to the expectations placed on him. The 21-year-old winger has the complete confidence of Carlo Ancelotti and it shows on the pitch, he who has found the net 10 times while delivering 7 assists in 18 games in all competitions confused. However, Vinicius Jr could have signed up for another club, the FC Barcelona, who were also interested in him at the time. An agreement was close to being reached, but at the last moment the player changed his mind to sign with Real Madrid . If the Catalan recruiter at the time, Andre Curry , considered this a betrayal, the agent of Vinicius Jr wanted to explain this sudden turnaround of his client a few days before signing for Real Madrid in a long post revealed today by the Cadena SER. “I want things to be clear to you, the decision of Vinicius is in your hands. I will do what you want, I have the power to manipulate everyone and in this case I will do it according to your will, but I am writing to tell you that I would prefer Vinicius to go to Real Madrid. Read, think and decide tomorrow, okay? We (his agents) will earn more commissions and the player will not be in the shadow of Neymar, who is in the shadow of Messi. With Vinícius in Madrid we will have the opportunity to dominate the two biggest clubs in the world. Look how many players Jorge Mendes has placed in Madrid since Cristiano has been here? How many players has Figer put in Madrid with Robinho? Even Mino Raiola at United. I mean, it's the most common thing in the world. Is the city of Barcelona better than Madrid? Of course, much better. But the player will not be able to do anything except go from home to the club. And there are a lot of important players who triumphed in Madrid: Cristiano Ronaldo, Zidane, Marcelo, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos even Flavio Conçeiçao … Vini is special and they will treat him the same in Barcelona or Madrid. The opportunity for him to have more impact and break records in Madrid is more real and concrete. Will Vinicius have a better image in Barcelona than in Real Madrid? It is possible, but the difference is minimal. I don't know if this can change Vinicius' life, but maybe it has a bigger economic impact for us than for him. Think about it and we'll talk about it again tomorrow, ” Federico Pena reportedly explained to Andre Curry , as revealed the program Què T'Hi Jugues! of the Cadena SER. The two men would now be cold. 
“We are earning more commissions and the player will not be in the shadow of Neymar, who is in the shadow of Messi”
