Vinicius Jr. Considering Purchase of Portuguese Club
According to Portuguese media reports, Real Madrid’s Brazilian forward Vinicius Jr. is exploring the possibility of acquiring a football club in Portugal. The team in question is Alverca FC, currently competing in Portugal’s second division.
‘Maisfutebol’ reports that negotiations between Vinicius Jr. and the club are already underway. The source suggests that the deal could be finalized for approximately 10 million euros. ‘ESPN Brasil’ also confirms that the player’s interest is serious and that talks are progressing positively.
Alverca FC, currently on the market, has reportedly turned down several offers below the 10 million euro mark that Vinicius is willing to pay. The club, situated on the outskirts of Lisbon in Alverca do Ribatejo, currently occupies the eighth position in the Portuguese second division standings.
If the purchase goes through, Vinicius would join a growing trend of current and former footballers acquiring clubs. Recent examples include Kylian Mbappé’s acquisition of Caen in France, David Beckham’s ownership of Inter Miami in the USA, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s stake in Sweden’s Hammarby.
The potential acquisition of Alverca FC by Vinicius Jr. represents an interesting development in his career off the pitch. It remains to be seen whether the Brazilian star will finalize the deal and add “club owner” to his list of accomplishments.
