Carlos Vinícius ends the transfer period to Tottenham at the end of the season and still does not know what will happen. The Brazilian striker reported the happiness of playing in England and made it clear that the future depends only on him. “If everything goes well and I work hard, my future will be solved by itself”, fired player, in declarations to ‘The Sunday Times’.
On loan from Benfica to the spurs last October, the best scorer of the last edition of the Portuguese championship is looking forward to it. This is because Tottenham, as the English press has already revealed, will not trigger the purchase option, set at 45 million euros, to which the 3 million loan fee will be deducted. The London club only admits paying 20 million to stay with him permanently.
With 10 goals in 22 games played, Vinícius, 26, confesses that he is well accustomed to the Premier League. “I am playing in the best league in the world, in one of the best clubs in the world”, guaranteed the Brazilian, stating that “when you have the chance to play for Tottenham it is impossible to reject it. As soon as they came to me, I had to be part of the team, integrate this resort and share it with wonderful players ”.
Linked to Benfica until 2024 and with a termination clause of 100 million euros, Vinícius insisted on praising the formation led by José Mourinho. “I am learning every day. In terms of mentality, to play for Tottenham you have to be a winner on and off the pitch. You have to be prepared for all the challenges. I enjoy every minute I’m on the field, whether it’s one, five or the whole game ”, concluded the striker.
His mother’s death almost stopped him
“My mother’s death was the worst moment. It hit me harder than anything. ” Carlos Vinícius thought about stopping playing football after the disappearance of his mother, when he played at Rio Ave, in 2018/19. However, the rest of the family assured him the strength to continue. “Then I saw my family, my children and my wife, who were the ones who gave me the strength to continue and achieve the goal I set myself when I left home,” recalled the Brazilian striker. “I left my parents’ house to become a footballer and reach a high level”, said the player, who had also been to leave the king sport before arriving in Portugal, in 2017.
