Barca's Former Scout Claims Betrayal in Vinicius Transfer, Blames Madrid's Missed Neymar Deal
André Cury, formerly a key figure in Barcelona's scouting operations for Brazilian talent, has thrown shade at Real Madrid's recent transfer dealings.
Cury suggests that their failure to land Neymar in the past influenced their strategy, leading them to "go crazy" with big fees for young Brazilians Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.
The most explosive part of Cury's statement concerns Vinicius. He claims Barcelona had a deal in place with the player and his agents, only to be surprised by a last-minute switch to Real Madrid. Cury suggests there was even a "betrayal" by Vinicius' representatives.
Here's a breakdown of Cury's claims:
- Madrid's Missed Neymar Sparked Spending Spree: According to Cury, Real Madrid's inability to sign Neymar in the past (Neymar famously joined Barcelona in 2013) led them to overspend on young Brazilian talents like Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo.
- Barcelona Had a Deal for Vinicius: Cury alleges Barcelona had a verbal agreement with Vinicius and his agents for the player to join the Catalans.
- Last-Minute Switch to Real Madrid: Cury claims there was a dramatic shift in Vinicius' destination just 15 days before signing, with his representatives allegedly favoring a move to Real Madrid at the final hour.
