Another Vinicius draws attention in Real Madrid. One of the keys to Castilla’s great moment is the “explosion” of Vinicius Tobias. Another of the Whites’ clubs, Vinicius has become the attacking side Raul has been looking for and is one of the names to consider for Nacionals alongside Arribas, Rafa Marin or Álvaro Rodriguez
The Brazilian proves every day that he is a dagger on the right side, with a strong physique and high quality in his offensive actions. Undoubtedly, the circumstances that must be taken into account not only the current situation of Raul’s team, but also the future plans of the first team are in a pending position to change generations in the short and medium term
Real Madrid is carefully examining the merits of Tobias, once they have decided whether to activate the purchase option that ends the 14-month loan period. In his favor, apart from his expectations and his good performances, there is also the issuance of non-community passports that Ancelotti’s team has seen in recent weeks. With Rodrygo, Militao and Vinicius nationalized, the winger will have the freedom to act in this sense to make the leap to the first team
Against him, a purchase clause has been agreed with Shakhtar (with whom he has a contract until 2026), amounting to around 8 million euros. This is where Madrid must decide if Tobias represents one of those young promises that the club is watching in advance and which represents a unique sporting and market opportunity. But the decision has not been made yet
For now, Tobias has the advantages of staying. This campaign is one of Raul’s strongmen. The change of regime that has been imposed on the affiliate in recent days favors the Brazilian when it comes to having the entire right-hand lane at his disposal. This point makes him shine more in his strength, his attack, and he has fewer defensive problems, as he sees himself less confined to the back line. He is the only one, along with Arribas and Peter, who played as a starter in all eleven matches of Castilla, registering two assists. In addition, he also competed in three Youth League events with Juvenel
Tobias leads a generation of right-backs who are advancing strongly in Valdebebas and who are submitting their candidacy to be replacements for Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez in the future. Along with Brazilian Alex Jimenez, David Jimenez or Jesus Forte are the other defenders on the first-team talent radar
It is Tobias’ order to take the last step and, together with Raul, knock on the door of Ancelotti, who noticed the Brazilian in his many appearances at Di Stefano. The 18-year-old footballer, who grew up in football in the Brazilian international Porto Alegre, came to the White Club in April from Shakhtar Donetsk, as a result of the exceptional window opened by FIFA to “liberate” the footballers who belong to the squad. The Ukrainian teams, once they settled the weeks-long strife Russia created. Since then, he has been fighting to convince Madrid that he has a place at the club. Tobias is in the spotlight and his future is yet to be written
