Vinicius does not want to give up the Real Madrid number '20'. According to 'ESPN', the Brazilian rejected the proposal to wear the number '7' next season, a number that has been a curse for the 'Merengues' since the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Vinicius will not wear Real Madrid's number '7' next season. The Brazilian player will continue to wear the number '20', the one he already wore at Flamengo and which he always wore at the beginning of his career.
'ESPN' reported that the Brazilian winger received a formal proposal from the 'Merengues' to wear the legendary number of the Santiago Bernabeu side with the legacy of players such as Emilio Butragueno, Raul Gonzalez and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Precisely, the departure of the Portuguese legend was the prelude to the curse of the '7' at Real Madrid. Mariano Diaz has failed to perform at Real and Lazio are keeping a close eye on his situation and then it was Eden Hazard who wore it.
The Belgian winger is not in Carlo Ancelotti's plans. So much so that the former Chelsea player, as fate would have it, has only played seven games in the current campaign with one goal, the one he scored against Celtic in the Champions League.
Real Madrid's intention was to revive the '7' number reputation, the number that Vinicius refuses to wear for his beloved '20', the number that has accompanied him all the way to his etablishment in the top flight.
