Summary
- Vinicius Jr had a preliminary agreement with Barcelona before joining Real Madrid.

Josep Maria Bartomeu, who served as Barcelona's president from 2014 to 2020, disclosed that the club had a preliminary agreement with Vinicius Junior. He stated that discussions were held with the player's family and agents, indicating an initial commitment to Barcelona.
