Liverpool are reportedly planning a mammoth offer for Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr, with FSG showing their ambition in the transfer market. The Reds have witnessed the world-class brilliance of the Brazilian down the years, with the 25-year-old scoring five times against them in total, one of which came in the 2022 Champions League final.



In truth, it is hard to see Liverpool being able to sign Vinicius, even if he isn’t entirely happy at Madrid currently, with his wages potentially out of even the Reds’ price range, given the amount they are already paying their current top players. Everything he does is a dribble away from a defender, an assist or a goal, and he does it for the full 90 minutes – he just never stops.” The idea of Liverpool having Vinicius, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak in the same attack is something the supporters could have only dreamed about years ago, and it is encouraging to see FSG spending more than in the past.

As mentioned, though, it would be a shock if Vinicius ended up in a Reds shirt in the near future, and it is easy to see his issues with Alonso blowing over and him spending plenty more years at Madrid.
