Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior has been the subject of ongoing speculation over the past year, particularly following interest shown by clubs from Saudi Arabia.
However, very little has been discussed about a potential move within Europe, and more specifically, to the Premier League.
The 25-year-old has yet to sign a new contract with Los Blancos, despite months of negotiations that have failed to produce a final agreement.
According to reports, the two parties had reached a verbal agreement for an extension, but recently Vinicius has demanded to be paid as much as, or more than, Kylian Mbappé, who is expected to become the highest-paid player in the squad.
While Saudi Arabia had been mentioned as the most likely destination in the event of a departure, interest from there now appears to have faded significantly.
According to Indykaila, Vinicius has held secret meetings with Manchester City officials, who are also considering a move for his teammate Rodrygo. Nevertheless, it is said that Vinicius himself is open to leaving the Santiago Bernabéu.
Although the Brazilian has some reservations regarding the legal proceedings Manchester City is facing over alleged Premier League financial rule breaches, he is considering all options for his future.
It is claimed that a move could take place either this summer or next summer.
In addition to Manchester City, rivals Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea are also closely monitoring the situation of Vinicius Junior, who is reportedly very interested in a switch to England.
