Milito admits Racing considered signing Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior

Inter Milan Treble winner Diego Milito says he's a fan of Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior.

Indeed, the Racing Club sporting director admits taking a serious look at Vini before he left Flamengo for Real Madrid.

He told AS: "I know him very well. When he was in Brazil we followed him, but the Brazilian market is complicated for Argentina.

"I watch him a lot. He is a striker who is constantly growing. He is a very decisive forward. He showed it against Sevilla on the hour. He is becoming a much more complete player because he has natural talent.

"He is a player with a huge future and he is showing everything he has at Real Madrid."
