Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid seem to have their eyes on Vinicius Tobias. The Brazilian is likely to leave Ukraine immediately.
The two top Spanish clubs Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are apparently dueling over right-back Vinicus Tobias from Shakhtar Donetsk. This is reported by the Spanish newspaper AS.
The background is the war in Ukraine, as a result of which the world association FIFA made it possible for all foreign professionals in the country to leave their clubs immediately and join other clubs. A special transfer window was created for this purpose.
Vinicius Tobias not yet deployed for Donetsk
Tobias joined Shakhtar from Internacional Porto Alegre in January but has not yet played for the club due to the winter break and the subsequent invasion of Russian troops. Game operations in Ukraine are currently suspended.
Both Real and Atletico are therefore aiming for a loan deal for the 18-year-old. The Rojiblancos have a need at right-back following the departure of Kieran Trippier in the winter, while Denmark’s Daniel Wass, brought in as a substitute, is currently injured.
Another option on the right defensive side would also be good for Real. Although Dani Carvajal is a regular player, he is also prone to injury. As a trained offensive player, his replacement Lucas Vazquez is only an emergency occupation for this position.
