Real Valladolid owner Ronaldo Nazario has again declared he'd like to sign Real Madrid youngster Vinicius Junior.

Vinicius has battled for minutes this season, with Ronaldo making an attempt to sign him on-loan over the summer.

He told Fox Sports Brasil: "He is a great player, he made a fantastic last season and practically saved Real from a major failure.

"I would love to have him.

"The expectation is very high and he still has a lot of potential to improve. And to worsen his situation, Rodrygo went very well, showed tranquility and has surprised."
