Changing Vinicius shirt number in Real Madrid

Vinicius Junior has become a global player since the arrival of Ancelotti in the summer of 2021. The Brazilian scored 22 goals last season at the hands of the Italian, and scored one of the most important goals of his career in the Champions League final, as Real Madrid beat Liverpool 0-1, crowning the Rimontada Championship.

The Brazilian striker, who was surprisingly not nominated in “The Beast” among the 26 best players in the world for 2022 after winning the Champions League, La Liga, Spanish and European Super Cups (the Club World Cup does not count in the vote).

This season he has great stats (18 goals and 10 assists) in just 36 matches in the white jersey and is on his way to surpassing his goal-scoring figures, as there are still 3 months left until the end of the competitions.

With Hazard leaving, this summer, Real Madrid will present Vinicius Jr. with the number 7 shirt, as the club appreciates that the Selecao player has earned the right to decide which number he will want to wear on his back next season.

This move will make Mbappe suspect that his doors to the European champion have closed since Real Madrid went to him in the market last summer to sign him, and the Parisian player ended up renewing with Paris Saint-Germain.
