According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Brazilian forward Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid is under investigation by the International Federation of Football Associations (FIFA).
Sources indicate that FIFA has launched an inquiry into the 24-year-old Brazilian due to allegations of conflict of interest—specifically, it is believed that Vinicius owns several football clubs. This has raised concerns among regulators, as such actions may compromise the transparency and integrity of competitions.
Reports suggest that if Vinicius is found guilty, he could face a suspension of up to two years.
It is important to note that FIFA takes such cases very seriously, as they believe a player's involvement in club management may undermine the principles of fair play in international tournaments.
Vinicius has been with Real Madrid since July 2018.
Earlier, an unnamed source mentioned that clubs in Saudi Arabia are surprised by Vinicius's desire to extend his contract with Real Madrid.
In other news, there are concerns within the Madrid club regarding the on-field synergy between Kylian Mbappe and the 24-year-old Brazilian.
