As a result, they now have several targets in mind, one of which is Vinicius Junior.<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian is still highly-regarded at the Bernabeu. However, he has fallen under the radar in recent weeks. In Madrid&#8217;s most recent fixture against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barcelona<\/a>, he failed to make it onto the pitch.<\/p>\n<p>Vinicius Junior is not the only winger Chelsea are targeting.

However, the Eagles are bowing down from their valuation of \u00a380 million for the Ivorian.<\/p>\n<h3>Not The Only Club Tracking The Brazilian<\/h3>\n<p>Chelsea are one of a number of clubs tracking the 19-year-old Brazilian. According to El Desmarque, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/manchester-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/tottenham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tottenham,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/arsenal\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/wolves-club-analysis-news-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wolves<\/a> are all holding an interest in the Madrid youngster.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, there is also interest from other European clubs, including <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/paris-saint-germain\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> and Inter Milan.<\/p>\n<p>While Chelsea appear the club most likely to sign the 19-year-old due to their desperation for a new winger, they will face strong competition for his signature.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea Will Be Busy In January<\/h3>\n<p>As a result of their transfer ban being rescinded, it looks like it will be a busy January transfer window for Chelsea.
