A new Vinicius clone spotted! Fans barely recognize the Real Madrid star in latest photo
Vinicius Junior is making headlines again, but this time it has nothing to do with his performances on the pitch.
Details: A new photo of the Real Madrid winger has sparked a wave of reactions among football fans, with some claiming they could barely recognize the Brazilian. The main talking point is his chin, which appears noticeably different to certain supporters. The image has also reignited speculation about whether Vinicius has undergone another cosmetic procedure.
One puzzled fan questioned why the player's chin seemed to have grown again after he had reportedly undergone a procedure to alter its shape. Other supporters also suggested that the Brazilian might have returned to a cosmetic specialist.
This is not the first time Vinicius's appearance has attracted attention. In July 2026, Brazilian dermatologist Alessandro Alarcão confirmed to Gshow that the footballer had undergone a facial aesthetic treatment involving laser technology, ultrasound and biostimulators, alongside a refinement of his chin projection.
However, there is currently no confirmation that Vinicius has undergone another procedure. The latest speculation is based on fans' reactions to the photograph rather than any new medical information.
It's worth noting that Vinicius has represented Real Madrid since 2018. In August 2026, the Spanish giants officially extended his contract until June 30, 2032.
