Real Madrid and Brazil star Vinicius Jr has been spotted wearing team-mate Jude Bellingham’s England shirt while on holiday.

Vinicius Jr has been enjoying some time away from football after taking part in the Copa America. The Brazilian has been uploading several pictures from his holiday to Instagram, showing off a special England jersey in his collection and spending time with Boston Celtics star Kristaps Porzingis.

Vinicius Jr also showed he has a host of other famous shirts hanging up in his home, including those of Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Brazilian legend Marta.

Vinicius’s homage

Bellingham was quick to respond in the comments with the simple message “Broski” followed by a heart emoji. Vinicius and Bellingham have formed a great relationship on and off the pitch since the England midfielder arrived in the Spanish capital last season. The pair helped Real Madrid win La Liga and the Champions League last season, playing starring roles for Los Blancos and ensuring they are both in contention for the 2024 Ballon d’Or.

Vinicius Jr is expected to join Real Madrid’s squad in North America for pre-season friendlies against AC Milan, FC Barcelona and Chelsea. Los Blancos will then face Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup on August 14 in Warsaw.
