Vinicius considering buying Portuguese club

Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior is considering buying a Portuguese second division club. A source close to the player confirmed the news to ESPN. The Brazilian, who is in Saudi Arabia to play in the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona on Sunday, is planning to diversify his business and prepare for life after retiring from football. It should also be noted that the name of the club is still unknown.

Vinicius already has several personal sponsorship deals, including a deal with Nike that runs until 2028. He recently resolved a legal wrangle and became a key figure in the American sports brand.

Portugal's second division includes 18 teams, including the second teams of Benfica and Porto. If the deal goes through, Vinicius will join the ranks of athletes investing in football. There are already examples of such purchases, for example, N'Golo Kante owns a club in the third Belgian division, and Kylian Mbappe became the owner of a controlling stake in a club from the second division of France.
