Vinicius Junior continues to knock on Julen Lopetegui's door but it remains to be seen when the Real Madrid coach will give the young Brazilian his opportunity.
The player is not too concerned, he knows that it's the coach's decision and he is working hard to convince him.
The Madrid fans are eager to see the ex Flamengo player feature alongside the likes of Marco Asensio and Gareth Bale but the decision lies with Lopetegui.
The gesture of giving Vinicius a space in the official team photo was another clear indication that the Madrid hierarchy believe he will become a star of world football and Lopetegui has little doubt of the youngster's ability after recent performances for the Castilla.
There was the possibility of playing the 18-year-old in the UEFA Youth League because of his age, however, the club are having none of it, and it appears that his first-team selection is edging closer.
They believe that his development will be accelerated by playing for the Castilla side rather than in the youth version of the Champions League.
Vinicius continues to convince in every game for the second team and in his daily training sessions with the first team squad, but Lopetegui is adamant that the youngster, along with Mariano, must wait for his chance to appear for Los Blancos on the big stage.
The Brazilian is confident that his time will come and that he will be a big success at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
What did Vinicius mean?
On Monday the talented youngster posted an Instagram story which caught the attention of many.
In the image, Vinicius was seen heading towards a door with a clear message.
"Champions League and LaLiga week. On the path to happiness," it wrote.
Is Vinicius a step closer to his official Real Madrid debut?
