Globoesporte: Real Madrid will pay 61 million euros for Vinicius Jr.
Perez will go all out for the teenager, paying 45m for the transfer & 16m in commission
Reports in Brazil say Madrid will beat Barça to the signing and the player will join in 2018
Florentino Perez let Neymar escape and will do everything he can to make sure history does not repeat itself with Vinicius Jr., the teenage star who is emerging at Flamengo -- and has also been followed by Barcelona.
According to Globoesporte.com, Real Madrid will break the market to ensure they land the 16-year-old Brazil youth international. They will pay as much as 61 million euros for the MVP of the recent South America U-17 Championship -- Vini is currently part of Flamengo's U-20 side.
What catches the eye is that Madrid will pay 45 million euros as a transfer fee, which is 15 million more than his current release clause, which is fixed at 30 million.
The other 16 million will be made up in commission. According to the same reports, eight million will go to Vinicius' parents and another eight million will go to his agents.
It's also explained that the deal will supposedly take place in 2018, when the player turns 18 and he still has one year left on his current contract, which runs until 2019.
SPORT recently reported exclusively that the Vinicius contract renawal talks has stalled. The positions of both parties were miles apart, since the club from Rio refused to put a release clause in for Barça, as the player wanted. His agents, on the other hand, are not in favour of increasing the release clause.
