Vinícius has made a move following rumors linking him with Arsenal and Real Madrid.
What will happen? Arsenal and Madrid fans are puzzled after Vinícius deleted all posts from his Instagram.
Vinícius Júnior, the Brazilian forward for Real Madrid, a major La Liga club, took action on his social media by deleting all photos and posts from his Instagram account, which has nearly 64 million followers, amid uncertain future transfer rumors.
Vinícius’s contract with Real Madrid runs until 2027. The club offered him a new deal worth 22 million euros (840 million baht) annually, but this figure appears below Vinícius’s demand of 30 million euros (1,146 million baht) per year including bonuses.
With reports that the "Gunners" Arsenal, former English Premier League champions, are interested in Vinícius, his complete Instagram wipeout has raised immediate questions among fans about his intentions—whether this is a tactic to secure his desired new contract or a sign he wants to transfer.
One Real Madrid fan posted, "Vinícius deleted all posts on Instagram, oh my God, don’t do this to me." Another said, "It’s over."
Meanwhile, an Arsenal fan commented, "He deleted all posts for his new contract," accompanied by a crying emoji, while another added, "Anything can happen."
At the same time, some believe Vinícius’s Instagram may have been hacked, causing the current situation. Therefore, the football world awaits further updates on Vinícius’s future.
