WHAT HAPPENED?

The Brazil international has visited the salon operated by Camavinga’s older brother Sebastiao. He is now sporting a bold new look, with the 24-year-old forward taking on the same dreadlock style as his Santiago Bernabeu team-mate.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Vinicius also has highlights, making his image as individual as possible. The South American was all smiles after seeing his transformation completed, with the Blancos winger ready to bring his bold style to the football pitch.

DID YOU KNOW?

Vinicius has been joined at Real Madrid by World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe, who now forms part of a star-studded attacking unit alongside Brazil international Rodrygo. England star Jude Bellingham is another ‘Galactico’ at Santiago Bernabeu.

WHAT NEXT?

Real savoured La Liga and Champions League glory last season, with Vinicius posting a career-best return of 24 goals across all competitions. Those exploits have put him in contention for the 2024 Ballon d’Or, which will be handed out at a glitzy ceremony in Paris on October 28.
