Lots of Wolves fans have responded on Twitter to the audacious rumours that Vinicius Junior is being lined up by the club.
Things might be going well for Nuno Espirito Santo and his team, however, surely bringing in one of the most highly rated teenagers in the world is a move which simply won’t come off.
According to reports from El Desmarque, the Brazillian winger is being targeted by a number of Premier League teams due to his lack of first-team football at the Bernabeu. Allegedly, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Inter, Roma and PSG are also interested in the 19-year-old if he does truly want out.
Where do the club most need to invest in January?
Strikers
Central midfielders
Wing-backs
Central defenders
Vinicius has found things a bit tougher under Zinedine Zidane this year, only starting five league games and coming on in five for just a combined total of 509 minutes in La Liga.
Bearing this in mind, it is not a surprise that the Spanish press has begun to link him away.
Many fans haven’t even considered it, though, and gave a pretty negative response. As you can read below, the majority of fans just simply don’t believe it’s true.

We’re not at the level to compete with those lot yet haha. Would kill our wage structure and unsettle the current squad.
Fosun seem very sensible so we should trust them to invest in the right staff.

Even if the rumours have little to no truth in it, Wanderers fans should be flattered to be considered within the mix.
It’s testament to how far this side has gone in recent years that they are being linked to such a prospect and alongside such a respectable set of clubs.
