Barcelona target Vinicius Junior celebrates an INCREDIBLE goal
Vinicius has been dubbed the ‘next Neymar’ and had been chased by Barcelona too.
That’s despite the Brazil Under-19 international never having played a game for the first team of his club Flamengo.
But that hasn’t put off Real Madrid, who put Vinicius through a medical yesterday, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.
That was held in Barra Tijuca, in Brazil, and the results were then sent to Real chiefs.

How Marca reported the news this morning
Marca say that was the final hurdle in the deal being done and that the move is now completed.
The teenager was shown to be in peak physical condition and he will now make his debut for Flamengo tomorrow.
Vinicius will sign a pro contract with Flamengo this week but on account of Real Madrid. He will then stay in Brazil until June 2018, when he will then move to the Bernabeu.
Real could also send a coach over to Flamengo to help the youngster develop.

The deal was complicated given Vinicius is represented by the Traffic agency, who are close to Barcelona employee Andre Cury.
Marca say what swung the deal Real’s way was a promise to be included in the first team - and not their Castilla reserve side.
Vinicius will become the second most expensive teenager in football history after Anthony Martial.
He left Monaco to join Manchester United for £36m in 2015.
