Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior has humorously claimed he acted as an “agent” by consistently messaging Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham to convince them to join the Spanish club.
Vinicius Junior has revealed his instrumental role in building Real Madrid’s latest “Galactico” era, admitting he spent years recruiting stars like Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham.
In an interview with Ibai Llanos, the Brazilian winger explained that he messaged both players regularly to sell the club’s vision.
Discussing his persistence with Mbappe, Vinicius stated, “Every summer I wrote to him: ‘When are you coming?’ I acted as an agent.”
Despite rumors of friction with Mbappe, Vinicius emphasized their strong bond and collective ambition to win major trophies.
Currently under contract until 2027, the 25-year-old also brushed off ongoing links to the Saudi Pro League, reaffirming his happiness in Madrid.
He highlighted the importance of these relationships, noting, “We spend more time with each other than with our family. We have to have a good relationship.”
