Vinícius's Agreement with PSG and Social Media is on Fire over the Farewell
The Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo wanted to play a prank on Fools' Day with Vinícius as the protagonist
The Catalan press unleashed chaos this Saturday with a surprising "news" story. According to Mundo Deportivo, Vinícius Junior allegedly signed a pre-contract with PSG for ten seasons, until 2035.
The publication was part of a Fools' joke, but it didn't amuse Madrid fans. The base of white fans on social media reacted with anger. The idea of losing Vinícius, one of Real Madrid's biggest stars, ignited tempers.
Surreal details
According to the fake news, Vinícius had traveled to China on a private plane provided by Luis Figo, a provocative nod to the Portuguese's history, who left Barcelona for Real Madrid. For many, this detail was a clear attempt to stir tensions between the clubs.
The prank didn't go unnoticed, but it didn't receive applause either. Numerous users criticized Mundo Deportivo for "creating false information" about the Brazilian's future. Others considered it a tasteless gesture, especially given the historic rivalry between both teams.
Vinícius, untouchable at Madrid
The Brazilian is one of the most beloved players by Madrid fans. With a recent contract that matches him salary-wise to Mbappé, his departure is not up for discussion. Vinícius has established himself as a key figure for the present and future of the white club.
The joke by Mundo Deportivo not only caused anger among Real Madrid fans. It also sparked a confrontation on social media, where Barcelona supporters took the opportunity to provoke Madrid fans.
Barça's current moment, with economic and performance issues, highlights the intention of the joke. Many Madrid fans saw the "news" as a distraction to divert attention from the culé team's problems.
Although the prank aimed to generate laughs, it ended up creating controversy. Vinícius Junior remains the future of Real Madrid, and rumors like this only reinforce his importance within the team.
Madrid fans are clear that their star isn't moving. Especially not to PSG.
