Vinicius Junior surprises Real Madrid management after No7 offer

Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Jr has turned down a proposed number change.

ESPN says management have offered Vini Jr the No7 shirt, currently worn by Eden Hazard.

However, he has turned it down as he doesn't want to have handle the 'weight' of the shirt.

Real Madrid legends Raúl, Butragueño, Juanito and Cristiano Ronaldo have all worn the No7 in the past.

Instead, Vinicius has informed the club that his desire, after having the No28 and currently the No20, is to wear the No11 currently worn by Marco Asensio.
