One of Real Madrid's highlights of the season, striker Vinícius Júnior could be a big winner for Flamengo. This is because, according to the Spanish press, PSG, Chelsea and Liverpool are preparing an offer of 200 million euros (around R$1 billion, at current prices) for the Brazilian and the Rio team is entitled to a percentage of this amount.
As Vinícius Júnior's training club, Flamengo is entitled to 2.5% of the striker through FIFA's solidarity mechanism. Thus, if the Brazilian is sold for the amount reported by the Spanish press, the red-and-black would receive R$25 million.
For each international transfer of a player, the athlete's training club is entitled to 5% of the values involved. This percentage, however, is divided by all the clubs the athlete played for between 12 and 23 years of age. In the case of Vini Jr., he stayed at Flamengo from 12 to 18 years old, accounting for 2.5%.
It is worth remembering that the value of Vinícius Junior's negotiation with Real Madrid, concluded in 2017, was of 45 million euros (around R$164 million at the exchange rate at the time). However, Flamengo was left with approximately R$100 million, after tax and commission discounts.
According to information from the Spanish newspapers El Debate and Sport, PSG knew that sooner or later it would lose Mbappé and its strategy for years is trying to sign Vinicius. First he tried to get him not to renew with Real and, when he couldn't, he made it clear that he could open his coffers to sign with him.
The 200 million euros would make Vini Jr. the second most expensive player of all times, second only to Brazilian teammate Neymar, who was signed by the French team for 222 million euros in 2017. Recently, however, PSG won competition from Liverpool and Chelsea, also interested and with money to match the offer .

I went straight to the hotel and managed to rest for about 40 minutes. It was a rush. The important thing is that everything went well," he said.

"Every time I spend with my teammates, I aim to participate, but for those who follow us, it's never easy. I've had some very memorable moments, and now I'm experiencing another very good one too. We can have bad times, it's part of the game, so we have to enjoy the good ones too," he said.
