JAKARTA - Vinicius was one of the stars of El Clasico at Camp Nou on Sunday. He performed brilliantly in the first half and frustrated Barcelona fans with some pointing insults and middle fingers at the young Brazilian star.

However, things could have been very different if Vinicius had joined Barcelona. Yes, there is a unique story about it.

Former Barcelona scout for Brazil Andre Cury revealed the winger was close to moving to Catalunya and he used to be a Blaugrana fan.

"Vinicius is a Cule, like any true Cule," Cury revealed on Cadena Ser's 'Que T'hi Jugues' show.

"He cried when Barcelona made a comeback against PSG (in the Champions League), when they won 6-1.

"He is also ready to sign for Barcelona. The two agents are close friends of mine.

"But, at the last minute, they betrayed me and the club. Since 2017, we don't talk anymore."

Cury himself managed to complete the signing of Neymar by Barcelona in 2013. He revealed how difficult it was given the strong interest in Neymar from Real Madrid.

"It was very difficult to get Neymar signed," Cury said.

"Neymar came because he loves this club. Under normal circumstances, he would not have come.

"Real Madrid even offered him 100 million euros more."

Although Neymar moved to Camp Nou in 2013, he then moved to Paris Saint-Germain four years later when the French club redeemed his release clause.
