André Cury, who was once responsible for Barça’s technical secretariat for the United States and South America, has dared to doubt Vinicius’s commitment to Real Madrid with an interview on the radio program What do you play from SER Catalunya. “In FIFA he played with Barça. Vinicius was culé, culé, culé. He cried on the day of 6-1 against PSG. He said that the best player in the world was Neymar because he was at Barça … Madrid signed Vinicius without having seen a single game, but Florentino was scared when he saw that Barça could sign him and signed him. “
This version is deactivated by a private conversation to which AS has had access, the one between Vinicius himself and his agent, Lucas Mineiro, on April 21, 2017. The messages were crossed on that day, in which the agreement between Mineiro and the Real Madrid leaders took place, closing the deal to consummate his transfer from Flamengo to the white club. Flamengo received 45 million euros despite Vini’s youth (18 years). The player had told his agent that signing for Madrid was a dream. When Lucas Mineiro told him that there was a ‘white smoke’ with Madrid and that he was heading to the Bernabéu, Vinicius gave him two textual answers that question Cury’s version: “Vamos pro maior do mundo” (We are going to the best team in the world ), and “Real Papito” (no translation required).
Vini has shown in these three and a half years to be very involved with Madrid, both for his messages on his social networks (he has 12.1 million followers on Instagram and 2,337,000 followers on Twitter) and for the numerous negatives he has received. transferred to the club when every summer when they have offered him the possibility of leaving on loan to have more minutes and more continuity in another top-level club so that he would return more fired. He always believed that he would succeed in Madrid and his patience and work are paying off. “The Cury thing is a tantrum for not having accepted Barça’s offer. It is the reaction of someone who does not accept that Vini preferred Madrid,” they explain to AS in the environment of the 21-year-old Brazilian star.
