He began his senior career at Flamengo in 2017, at the age of just 16. He drew immediate attention when Real Madrid signed him just a few weeks later for a national record fee for an U18 player. He finally made the switch when he turned 18 and has represented the Galacticos 42 times since, establishing himself as a squad player.
Vinicius is a technically gifted inside forward who is an excellent dribbler. He is also very fast with high flair making him very hard to mark.

Vinicius Junior: Career History until 2027
Vinicius Junior: FM2020 Wonderkid Review
Vinicius Junior is a very good winger who has the potential to be an important player for most sides. His dribbling, pace and acceleration are his main strengths and these attributes enable him to go past defenders with ease.
In the auto generated save he has spent all the seasons in Real Madrid itself. However, he has played fewer than 25 games almost every seasoning meaning that he is still a squad player for the side which is why he has not realised his potential. He is definitely bound to do well under a human manager.
If you were to sign him your first season in your save you'll need to splash a ridiculous sum of £100m, is he worth the money, probably yes.
His average rating of 7 states that he is still giving good performances despite not being a regular starter. Can you bring the best out of Vinicius?
