Vini Jr refused to wear the number 7 shirt at Real Madrid, revealing his preferences
According to ESPN, Real Madrid offered Vinicius Junior the opportunity to wear the legendary No. 7 shirt from next season but the winger turned it down.
Meanwhile, Bernabeu Digital reports that the 22-year-old really likes the number 11 shirt which could be left vacant if Marco Asensio leaves at the end of the season.
The number 11 seems to be Vini's favorite as he wears it at Real Madrid Castilla and during the last game against Brazil. Moreover, he wanted to take over the shirt number when Gareth Bale left, but sadly accepted the number 20.
The number 7 shirt has a long history at Real Madrid as legends like Butragueno, Raul and Cristiano Ronaldo have worn it. Since the Portuguese left, Mariano and Eden Hazard have played it, but clearly they are not on the same level.

Lionel Messi's contract situation at Paris Saint-Germain has Barcelona fans dreaming of an emotional comeback this summer. The club's hierarchy has suggested that the door remains open for their former crown jewel, and Sergio Aguero believes there is a 50% chance his friend will arrive at Camp Nou at the end of the season. Anything is possible at this stage of the season. However, when it comes to Álex Grimaldo, another former Barca player, fans should not hold their breath at the possibility of his return.

The Italian journalist tweeted that Blaugrana is not working with Grimaldo at the moment.
Benfica's form left-back is attracting interest from 'many clubs' but Barcelona are not looking to fill the position. Xavi is lucky to have Jordi Alba, Marcos Alonso and Alejandro Balde guarding his team's defence.
In particular, Balde has played very impressively this season. The academy graduate became a phenomenon against Manchester United and Real Madrid, winning the penalty for Robert Lewandowski's Europa League goal and assisting Franck Kessié to seal the win in the previous El Clasico. international vacation. He was also praised by fans for his performance in Spain's 3-0 win over Norway at the weekend.
What Barcelona need is a new right-back, someone who can make an impact like Balde in the future. Ronald Araújo, Jules Kounde and Sergio Roberto have been used by Xavi this term at right-back, with mixed results.
