Real Madrid have built quite a reputation for nurturing Br azilian talents in the recent past.
They have enjoyed immense success with the investments in Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo lately, and are actively looking for new talents sprouting up across the country.
One such investment was Vinicius Tobias, who was roped in from Shakhtar Donetsk on loan in April earlier this year, with an option for permanent purchase.
The right-back had joined Real Madrid’s reserve squad, Castilla, and has made a positive impact. He has enjoyed an excellent start to the new season, establishing himself as a key defensive component for Castilla.
The 18-year-old has racked up seven appearances for the club while also featuring twice in the UEFA Youth League.
In light of Vinicius Tobias’ excellent performances, Real Madrid are not ruling out signing the youngster on a permanent deal.
This has been reported by Sergio Santos, who suggests that Los Blancos are delighted with Tobias’ rapid progress this season. They are considering a permanent move for the 18-year-old, who has impressed the onlookers with his pace and athleticism out wide.
In addition to his dynamism, Tobias has impressed the Real Madrid setup with his professionalism and attitude as well. It has left the Whites with a critical decision to make, as the youngster has an €18 million purchase clause embedded in his loan deal.
A figure of €18 million is not insignificant, even for a club such as Real Madrid. However, given the way Tobias has grown into prominence in the course of the past six months, he has made a strong case for becoming a permanent player for the European giants.
At the age of just 18, the Br azilian could turn out to be an excellent addition to Real Madrid’s senior squad next season and a potential long-term replacement for the ageing Dani Carvajal.
