Real Madrid have reportedly proposed an idea to Vinicius Jr for next season, but, to the surprise of all Madrid fans, the Brazilian attacker has reportedly rejected the 'offer'. It was an attempt by Madrid to 'save the club's image'.
Vini' would have been proposed to that he should wear the number 7 on his shirt, as Real Madrid legends Raúl, Butragueño, Juanito and Cristiano Ronaldo have done in the past.
After the departure of the Portuguese star, the number 7 became the property of Mariano Diaz and Eden Hazard, both players who have failed to live up to the weight of the number 7.
According to ESPN Brasil, Real Madrid have therefore proposed this number for the upcoming 2023/24 campaign.
For his part, Vinicius does not want to carry the responsibility of wearing the No 7 on his back and has already informed the club that his desire, after having the No 28 and currently the No 20, is to wear the No 11 currently worn by Asensio.
