Real Madrid has officially purchased Vinicius. The young Brazilian star (17 years old) will not join the Spanish team right away though. He should join them from July 2019. The merengues have released an official statement on their website:
"Real Madrid C. F. and Clube de Regatas do Flamengo have reached an agreement regarding the transfer of the federative rights of the player Vinicius Junior from July 2018. The player will remain at his current club until July 2019, although he will be able to play for Real Madrid before then if both clubs agree to it".
