Brazilian wonderkid Vinicius Junior bade a heartfelt goodbye to Flamengo on Monday as he prepares to make his move to Real Madrid.

The 17-year-old's move to the European champions will become a reality on his 18th birthday next month after a £38million deal was agreed last year.

He is widely considered the best prospect to come out of his country since Neymar and appears to have a big future in the game, though it is unclear yet whether or not he will be loaned out next season.

'I am dreaming of doing the same as Ronaldo and Ronaldinho in Spain.

'The biggest challenge will be tactical but I can improve and turn into a great player.

'I am prepared for new challenges and this is the biggest (challenge) of my life. I want to adapt quickly to be happy at Real Madrid.'

Vinicius was also in tears earlier this month after playing his final game for Flamengo, who he scored six times for in 15 appearances this year.
