Real Madrid's unexpected decision with Vinicius Jr that paralyzes Europe

Vinicius Junior has been one of the most important elements of Real Madrid. The Brazilian has been with the team for almost 5 years now and after the criticism upon his arrival, he has shown an impressive growth towards the last season. Vinicius signed for Real Madrid for the 2018-19 season to start playing with the reserve team. Now, Real Madrid already has a new plan with the player that surprises everyone.

Vinicius Junior is one of the considered pillars for next season and Real Madrid even already gave him the number 7. However, it goes beyond that. The Brazilian player is now being considered as the center of the project for the coming years, regardless of the stars arriving to the team.

In this way, Vinicius will no longer wear the number 20 to wear one of the jerseys that have weighed most heavily in recent decades at Real Madrid. The last player to wear the 7 in the Bernabeu team has been the Belgian Eden Hazard, who has passed with more pain than glory by the white entity.

Is Vinicius the franchise striker of Real Madrid?

In addition to the new number that Vinicus will wear, the Brazilian striker will also be rewarded with a better contract. Thus, he will become Real Madrid's franchise player regardless of whether the Frenchman Kylian Mbappé, who also usually wears the 7 on the shirt, ends up arriving.
