Mesut Özil Says Vinícius Júnior Is the Best Player in the World
Former Real Madrid star Mesut Özil has boldly declared Vinícius Júnior as the best player in the world right now.
His statement comes just days after legendary Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger placed the Brazilian third on his list of top players. Özil, who played under Wenger at Arsenal before his move to Madrid in 2010, shared his opinion when asked who he believes is currently the best.
Vinícius had high hopes of winning the Ballon d’Or last year, but late reports suggested Manchester City’s Rodri was favored instead. He eventually finished 2024 as the second-best player in the world, according to France Football.
This season, the Brazilian winger has been in incredible form, with many predicting he could finally secure football’s most prestigious individual award.
“The best player at this moment? Vinícius Júnior,” Özil said in a comment shared by Madrid Xtra and reported by Sportskeeda.
Manchester United have released a list of players who are expected to leave the club during the summer transfer window.
A statement from the club listed the players as Jadon Sancho, Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Sonny Aljofree, James Bailey, and Malachi Sharpe.
It was noted that Casemiro enjoyed a strong season at the club and built an excellent reputation during his time with the team.
Meanwhile, Tyrell Malacia made 50 first-team appearances for Manchester United during his spell at the club.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.
The list includes star players Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté. While some players are leaving, others have been offered new contracts.
The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
