Vinícius Jr alerted Premier League giants by rejecting contract, report claims
Real Madrid star’s current contract expires in 2024
Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea all monitoring situation
Vinícius Júnior has alerted Premier League giants Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea by rejecting Real Madrid's latest contract offer, according to a report.
The Brazilian winger’s current deal expires in 2024, and Madrid are keen to tie him down to a new long-term contract.
However, Vinícius Jr is reportedly unhappy with the terms of the offer and is now considering his options.
The 22-year-old has been one of Madrid's standout performers this season, scoring 18 goals in all competitions.
His impressive form has attracted the attention of several top clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea.
All three clubs are in the market for a new winger, and Vinícius Jr would be a major coup for any of them.
Liverpool are reportedly the frontrunners for Vinícius Jr's signature, as they have a good relationship with his agent.
Manchester United are also interested in signing Vinícius Jr, but they may not be able to afford his wages.
Chelsea are the outsiders in the race for Vinícius Jr's signature, but they could make a move if they fail to sign their top target, Erling Haaland.
It remains to be seen where Vinícius Jr will play his football next season, but it is clear that he is one of the most sought-after players in the world.
