Young Brazilian talent Vinicius Júnior has received exciting news from his club, Real Madrid, after facing numerous issues related to racism throughout the season, even leading to a legal case. Starting from the upcoming season, Vinicius will leave behind the number 20 on his jersey to sport one of the most iconic numbers at Real Madrid.
With the confirmed departure of Eden Hazard from the white squad, the young Brazilian will inherit the number 7, a jersey that has been worn by legendary figures like Raúl and Cristiano Ronaldo. This designation symbolizes recognition of Vinicius' talent and potential, as well as the club's trust in him.
Following Real Madrid's elimination from the Champions League, the team has initiated a process of squad renewal. Players such as Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Mariano Díaz, and the aforementioned Hazard have left the club, and the arrival of new names is expected in this transfer market.
The official club website has presented an update on the players and their respective jerseys for the 2023/24 season, revealing for the first time the new number Vinicius will wear. Although it will be his first time wearing it at Real Madrid, the 22-year-old winger has already donned the number 7 in some matches for the Brazilian National Team in 2020 and 2021.
The number 7 holds special significance in the history of Real Madrid, as it has been worn by some of the greatest players to have passed through the club. Legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Raúl González, and Emilio Butragueño have proudly sported that jersey, and now Vinicius will have the opportunity to write his own chapter in the rich history of Real Madrid's number 7.
