Real Madrid's plan for new boy Vinicius

'Los Blancos' are believed to have put together a four-point plan to ensure the club can get the most out of Vincius' undoubted potential.

First things first, it's a case of sound body, sound mind. As is often the case when precocious talents make the move to Europe, Real Madrid's first aim will be to add muscle mass to their prodigy in order to give him the strength required to succeed among the rough and tumble of European football.

According to 'AS', the club hope to help the player add three or four kilograms to his weight, without losing the speed and turn of pace that make him such a nightmare to opposition defenders.

Next up, the issue of homesickness will be addressed. It is well known that a player who is not content will find it very difficult to produce their best, hence Madrid will do everything in their power to make Vinicius feel at home.

The 18-year-old has already admitted that he will miss Rio de Janeiro and so Madrid will look to keep his agent, Lucas Mineiro, and brother Netinho close to him. The club's Brazilian contingent of Marcelo and Casemiro as well as Castilla star Augusto will also keep a close eye on Vinicius.

It was made clear during his presentation that Vinicius will not be going out on loan, with it more likely that he will feature for the club's Castilla side on occasion if he fails to force his way into Julen Lopetegui's first-team plans.

However, with the club still reeling from the 'Odegaard' case', with the Norweigian starlet struggling with training with the stars one days and playing with the reserves the nest, the club will proceed very carefully on that front.

For Vinicius, he is keen to do his talking on the pitch and his direct, tricky darts inside form the left wing have predictable given rise to comparisons with Neymar.

It won't be long until the Brazil U17 international gets a chance to show his worth as Madrid prepare to get their International Champions Cup campaign underway.
