Rumors around BD Cricket fans’ favorite football circles are heating up again, and this time Manchester City is at the center of the storm. The English champions are reportedly preparing an audacious plan to lure Real Madrid’s Brazilian star Vinicius Junior away from Spain. The tension inside Madrid’s dressing room has been growing, especially between Vinicius and Mbappé, and it seems City has spotted a golden opportunity to strike.
Inside Real Madrid, unity has been hard to find this season. While both Vinicius and Mbappé are in their prime, the club’s internal politics appear to favor the Frenchman. Many expected Mbappé to become the new face of Los Blancos, but for Vinicius, who led Madrid to a Champions League title before Mbappé’s arrival, this shift feels like a step backward. According to several Spanish sources, the winger has become increasingly frustrated with the growing preference for Mbappé’s leadership role. BD Cricket followers might say the young Brazilian’s pride has taken a real hit.
Reports from Indykaila News have set social media ablaze with claims that Manchester City has already contacted reliable channels in Madrid. The report reveals that City urged Vinicius not to renew his contract with Real, viewing him as the ideal successor to Kevin De Bruyne. It’s an ambitious plan — one that could reshape European football if it goes through. The move would likely cost around 200 million euros, but City’s management is said to be strategizing to sign him at a reduced price by waiting for his contract to run down. For Vinicius, the appeal isn’t just money — City promises him a central role, full respect in the locker room, and even the freedom to chase Ballon d’Or glory without internal friction.
BD Cricket fans who follow both Premier League and La Liga know that Vinicius’s frustrations at Real Madrid didn’t start overnight. In the recent El Clásico against Barcelona, he stormed off after being substituted early and threw a water bottle in anger — an act that led to public criticism about his attitude and “lack of team spirit.” Since then, the relationship between player and management has clearly soured. Moving to Manchester City could give him the reset he needs — a team that values speed, creativity, and freedom in attack.
Right now, City sees Vinicius as the missing piece for their next phase of dominance, especially as De Bruyne approaches the latter stages of his career. Pep Guardiola has long admired the Brazilian’s explosiveness, and pairing him with Erling Haaland could be the dream combination to terrorize defenses across Europe. For Real Madrid, losing Vinicius would be a heavy blow, but for Manchester City, it could be the spark that reignites their ambition to rule both England and Europe. In the end, if this transfer becomes reality, BD Cricket fans worldwide might witness one of the most sensational moves of the decade.
