A conspiracy theory has been circulating on social media claiming that Real Madrid and Brazil forward Vinícius Júnior was kidnapped and replaced by a double. According to Marca, conspiracy theorists insist that the player seen during Brazil’s training camp ahead of their match against Australia was not the real Vinícius.
The theory suggests that Vinícius was swapped after the World Cup. It is alleged that the footballer disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and a lookalike was hired to fulfill his advertising commitments. Some internet users also point out that the Vinícius playing for the Brazil national team lacks the thigh tattoos that the Real Madrid Vinícius has.
The emergence of a beard and a drastic change in appearance are also cited as evidence of the substitution. The kidnapping and murder of Vinícius are blamed on the CIA, the influential European Rothschild dynasty, and other elite groups. Neither the player’s representatives nor Real Madrid have responded to these claims.
