Vinicius Junior buys Athletic Club; becomes co-owner of the club

Vinicius Junior has reached an agreement to buy shares in Athletic Club. With its headquarters in Sao Joao del-Rei, Athletic Club is now in 15^th place in Serie B. Before going professional in 2018, Athletic Club, which was founded in 1909, had decades of local success. They have since received consecutive promotions and are now trying to survive in a cut-throat league.  

Although, the promotion is not certain at this time, the Real Madrid forward's financial and strategic support might influence the course of the team in a good run. Vinicius Juniorwill be owning a second club. In February last year, the Brazilian striker acquired the controlling stake in FC Alverca, a team in the Portuguese second level. Supporters will be hoping that Vini's finances and international clout can help turn the team around. 

The investment may stoke hopes of a fast ascent, even though they are still far from top-flight contention. Meanwhile, his teammates Kylian Mbappe, Luka Modric, and other professional football players are investing in teams to help them expand, and this move is part of a rising trend.  Players use it as a means of getting ready for life off the field.

Vinicius Junior suffered injury during El Clasico 

Just a day after their stunning 4-3 loss to Barcelona in the El Clasico, Real Madrid disclosed injuries to two of its important players, Vinicius Junior and Lucas Vazquez, on Monday, adding to the club's already tumultuous season finale. The result increased the doubt around manager Carlo Ancelotti's impending exit, in addition to widening the gap in the La Liga title chase. Vinicius Junior, who had two assists for Kylian Mbappe and played a key part in the Clasico, was found to have a sprained left ankle. Despite his best efforts, the Brazilian was replaced by youthful attacker Victor Muoz in the 88th minute.
