One of the Brazilian agents detonated a heavy-caliber bomb after he revealed the scenes of the failure of the transfer of star Vinicius Junior to Barcelona several years ago, although he was just around the corner from moving to the Catalan club, before turning his destination towards Real Madrid.
And Brazilian Andre Currie (a business agent for other players) revealed information highlighted by the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, in which he explained the reason for the completion of the deal and the transfer of Vinicius’s destination to Real Madrid instead of Barcelona.
“We were working on Vinicius’ contract with Barcelona for 3 years, but his representatives betrayed me at the last moment,” Curry said.

He added, “We arranged everything, but Real Madrid discovered that Vinicius was in Barcelona and then invited him to visit the club .. In fact, they did not know him before, Vinicius went to Madrid because his agents chose that, they betrayed us.”
He explained: “Vinicius told me that he cried with joy on the night of Barcelona’s victory over Paris Saint-Germain, France, 6-1. This is what he told me, and I do not know what he said to the others,” referring to the fictional “Remontada” in which the “Blaugrana” turned a four-goal loss into a 6-1 victory in the Champions League final price of the 2016-2017 season.
Curry admitted that after Vinicius’ “betrayal” Barcelona went for the option to sign his compatriot Rodrigo Goes as a “more complete” player.
He said, “We negotiated with Santos for Rodrigo, but the deal did not take place, so that the Royals entered the line with a much larger financial offer than what Barcelona offered.”
This is Vinicius when he is asked do you prefer Messi or Ronaldo? Messi answers Messi.
The journalist asks him: Where do you prefer to play?
Vinicius: In Barcelona
Barcelona had agreed with the player, but Madrid came and offered more money to the club and commissions for the player, his family and agents.
Madrid is like any money club.

Vinicius became an official player in the ranks of Real Madrid on July 12, 2018, coming from Flamengo, for 45 million euros.
Since that time, Vinicius has played against Barcelona in 14 games in all tournaments, winning 7 and losing 6 against him, the two teams tied once, scored 3 times and provided two assists, according to the numbers of the “transfermarkt” website, which specializes in player data.
Currie helped Barcelona complete the transfer of Brazilian star Neymar from Santos in 2013, despite Real Madrid’s interest in including him as well, and he himself is the agent of the young player Victor Roque, who announced the “Blaugrana” joining the ranks a few days ago.
