Vinicius Junior is yet to arrive to Real Madrid from Flamengo, but the youngster believes the transfer of Neymar to the Spanish giants will be a great help to his development.

PSG star Neymar has been linked to the Bernabeu in recent months and the move looks like it could become a possibility in the future.

“If [Neymar] could come to Real Madrid, it would help myself and Rodrygo,” Vinicius told Marca.

“In his position, and with his experience, he will be able to help us a lot.

“I have followed him since always, since he exploded. He is a man with as much humility as he has talent.

“Since I came a little closer to him, he has always wished me good luck. There is nothing better than being next to your idol.

“He is a phenomenon on the pitch and has extraordinary humility. He has a charisma that enchants everyone on and off the field.”
