6. Vinicius Junior
Flamengo to Real Madrid in 2018, €45m
Vinicius is of a similar ilk to Rodrygo. Real Madrid paid good money to bring him in from Flamengo because they see him as the future. ‘I’m honoured to have reached the pinnacle in football, Real Madrid, at only 18 years of age,’ the Brazilian teenager said upon signing.
The forward showed signs of promise in 2018-19. Now 19, he will hope to kick on in 2019-20.
