Real Madrid push to confirm Vinicius Junior deal in 48hrs

Real Madrid are expected to announce the signing of Flamengo attacker Vinicius Junior this week.

A high-ranking Real official will touch down in Rio on Monday and enter the final stretch of negotiations with Flamengo for the teen.

A fee of €45 million has been struck, with Vinicius due to move to Madrid in 2018 when he turns 18 years of age.

The Real representative will finalise terms tomorrow and if everything is settled, an announcement from both clubs will be organised for Tuesday.

Real will also deposit a first payment of €20 million to Fla of the total fee.

Vinicius made his first team debut on Saturday, playing the final minutes of their 3-0 win over Atletico Paranaense.
