However, on Tuesday (13), Spanish newspaper Marca reported that an amount of 1 billion euros is unlikely, and that an offer of around 200 million euros (1.2 billion reais) is expected to be made to Real Madrid in the coming days.
Based on this projection, Flamengo’s 2.5% share would amount to 5 million euros (30 million reais), given that they are Vini Jr.’s training club.
Potential earnings from Vini Jr.’s transfer from Real Madrid could be big for Flamengorival with other big transfers involving Flamengo. Recently, the club has been raking in notable sums from the sale of its most valuable assets.
