Brazil International Vinicius Junior already has Spanish citizenship, his club Real Madrid announced on Monday, allowing the club to register another player who is not from the European Union. “Our Brazilian player Vinicius Junior took the oath of allegiance to the Spanish Constitution on Friday, September 2, so from that point on he also holds Spanish citizenship,” a statement from the club said. Real Madrid said. According to Spanish Liga regulations, there are limits on the number of non-EU players a club can register. Vinicius, now 22 years old, joined Real Madrid in 2018 from Flamengo and became an important player. He scored the winning goal in last season’s Champions League final. He has 14 caps for Brazil.
