Ex-Real Madrid scout criticised the club's star and suggested swapped him for the Napoli leader

Former Real Madrid scout Manolo Romero unexpectedly criticized Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior and suggested exchanging him for Napoli's leader, Hirving Lozano.

"I wouldn't mind changing Kvaratskhelia for Vinícius as long as the numbers fit. He would form a great forward line with Mbappé and Rodrygo," commented the former Madrid employee on the Cadena Ser program El Bar.

"Vinícius is not playing well and he is covering everything up with goals," Romero continued. "You have to talk to him but in a different way. You have to sit him in front of the screen, play the game against Girona 30 times and tell him: this is the Vinicius we need. If you are not going to be able to repeat this game, we will have have to make a thought. They have not spoken to him in the correct way. You have to intimidate him.

He has to repeat the exhibition against Girona and stop fooling around. He is not going to achieve more because of his brain and if the operation gives benefits, I would change him for Kvaratskhelia, who also has more goals," Romero declared in his speech.

This season, Vinícius has scored 16 goals and provided 8 assists in 27 matches across all competitions.Transfermarkt values ​​the 23-year-old Brazilian at €150 million.
