Vinicius, however, is on the back of his most successful season with the Brazilian bagging home 23 goals and 16 assists across all competitions.

The news was announced by the club with a tweet, where it was stated that Rodrygo will take the vacated No.11 shirt after Marco Asensio’s departure.

22-year-old Vinicius was voted as Real Madrid’s player of the season, as he helped them lift 3 trophies, although they failed in La Liga and the Champions League.

He is committed long-term with Los Blancos, even though there have been speculations about his future, following the racist abuse he received last month.
