Publicly and privately, Vinicius has repeatedly expressed his happiness at Real Madrid and his desire to continue his career in Madrid. That message has been reinforced by those at the very top of the club. President Florentino Perez is understood to be fully committed to keeping the Brazilian superstar at the Bernabeu, viewing him as a cornerstone of Madrid's long-term sporting project alongside Kylian Mbappe Jude Bellingham and the next generation of Galacticos.

Harry Kane is fully focused on Bayern and very happy at the club. There will be talks over a new contract, so before mentioning any other clubs, the negotiations with Bayern first have to take place. At this stage, it's early to mention Barcelona or any other clubs. Kane is focused on Bayern and doesn't want to be distracted by any transfer rumours.

Vinicius has the quality to score many goals. I told him, 'When you play as a winger, you need three or four dribbles and seven or eight touches to score. But in the centre, one well-timed movement is enough to score'. He understood it, and he enjoys playing in that position. I'm not going to force a footballer to play in a position he doesn't want; I want them to play where they're comfortable. With Vinícius, it wasn't about that; it was another issue, more on a personal level than a tactical one.

Liverpool picked up a 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League tonight, and Conor Bradley produced a strong defensive performance. The talented Liverpool defender was up against Vinicius Junior, and he did not put a foot wrong throughout the game. Bradley managed to notify the threat from the Brazilian attacker and former Real Madrid defender. Jonathan Woodgate has now heaped praise on him.

Barcelona are interested in a move for Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen, Mundo Deportivo reports. Any possible move for the 26-year-old depends on the Blaugrana's financial situation and sporting director Deco has cooled expectations in that regard, with Gala having spent €75 million to sign the Nigeria international in the summer. The same outlet has also reported on Barça's interest in , the Levante striker who is also being looked at by Real Madrid, Manchester City.

"I think it's always important to first maintain a solid defence where everyone defends, everyone helps, and little by little the attack starts to work, and that's what happened today," said Rodrygo. "I'm very happy about the victory, and my individual performance as well. Now I have to continue like this, after the two goals."

Levante captain Unai Elgezabal hit out at Vinícius Júnior on Tuesday, accusing the forward of showing a "lack of respect" during Real Madrid's 4-1 LaLiga win, and saying "enough is enough." Defender Elgezabal fouled Kylian Mbappé to concede a penalty in the second half at the Ciutat de Valencia Stadium, which Mbappé converted to make it 3-1 in the 64th minute.
