Madrid's new star is shining bright

Real Madrid signed Vinicius Jr last summer for €45 million - a move that proved controversial considering the young striker was just 16 years old. 

Since the deal, the Brazilian has stunned the critics and has dealt well with the pressure put on him. 

Given the strong opposition in La Liga, Madrid are keen to accelerate his move to the Spanish capital, even though Flamengo want him to stay until 2019 accoring to 'Marca.'

Real will have the last say on Vinicius who's talent seems boundless. Fred Pena, the player's agent, declared that the date of his move to Madrid is not decided. 

With his ability, the Flamengo forward has left even those that supported him astounded and now, has been tipped as a future Ballon d'Or winner by 'Marca.'

With his talent and physicality improving every day, Vinicius has all the ingredients to be one of the world's best. His manager at Flamengo has stated that he is even more explosive now in Brazil and has gained 5kg of muscle without compromising on his agility or speed. 

The magazine 'World Soccer' recently included him in their list of the 500 best players and claimed that he is the most promising player in the game for his age.
