Real Madrid to stop Vinicius going to the Olympics

The Brazilian national team announced their 22 man squad for the Olympic Games and Vinicius is not in it. He is currently with the national team at the Copa America. 

'AS' reports that Brazil asked for Real Madrid to count on Vinicius in Tokyo, but Real Madrid have strongly rejected the request.

In Valdebebas they want Vinicius to come back as soon as possible so that he can do pre-season with Carlo Ancelotti. In other words, they want him back once Brazil are finished are in the Copa America. 

For the player, it's an important decision, as he was hoping to play in the Olympic Games and have that experience at the age of 20 to defend the gold medal Brazil won in 2016.

It is a similar situation to what happens at Barca with Pedri and Eric Garcia, who are playing at the Euros and they will also be at the Euros. But Barca cannot stop them going as they are playing for Spain.

Rodrygo, Militao, Gabriel Jesus and Renan Lodi are the other players who will not be at the Olympic Games. Who will be at the game is Reinier, who has been given permission by Madrid to play at the Olympics.
