Man Utd and Chelsea 'line up stunning Vinicius Jr transfer swoop' after Real Madrid star snubs talks over new contract

Red Devils planning summer move for Brazilian star

Manchester United and Chelsea are reportedly lining up a stunning transfer move for Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr after the Brazilian winger snubbed talks over a new contract.

According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, both Premier League clubs are monitoring Vinicius' situation at the Bernabeu and are ready to make a move for him in the summer if he does not sign a new deal with Real.

Vinicius' current contract with Real expires in 2024, and the club is keen to tie him down to a new long-term deal.

Winger wants pay rise to match status

However, the 22-year-old is said to be demanding a significant pay rise to reflect his status as one of the best young players in the world.

Real are reluctant to meet Vinicius' demands, and the player is now considering his options.

Man Utd and Chelsea ready to pounce

Manchester United and Chelsea are both in the market for a new winger, and they see Vinicius as the ideal target.

The Red Devils are looking to add more firepower to their attack, while Chelsea are looking for a replacement for Christian Pulisic, who has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Both clubs are prepared to offer Vinicius a lucrative contract to convince him to make the move to England.

Real Madrid confident of keeping star

Real Madrid are confident that they will be able to keep Vinicius, but they are aware of the interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.

The club is set to hold further talks with Vinicius in the coming weeks in an attempt to convince him to sign a new contract.

However, if Vinicius does decide to leave Real, Manchester United and Chelsea will be at the front of the queue to sign him.
