Why Vinicius Jr still hasn't got Spanish passport and why it is important to Real Madrid: explained

ESPN; El Larguero

 is yet to obtain Spanish citizenship after applying for the national visa in 2020.

Why does it take so long for the Brazilian to get the passport?

More than 300,000 people are currently waiting for their Spanish visas, according to El Larguero's Pedro Jimenez. Their orders are handled by just 30 employees; in a year, the agency approves between 50,000 and 60,000 passports.

Besides, the coronavirus pandemic delayed the whole process.

There are only 3 non-EU slots available to every La Liga team. At Real Madrid, they are currently occupied by Vinicius Jr, 

 this summer, they would possibly have to part ways with one of those players which seems unlikely.

Why Gabriel Jesus transfer depends on Vinicius? Explained

According to Cadena SER, the Merengues will go all out for the striker only if 

 allow only four non-EU players per team and only three of them can be called up for a single match. 

Real Madrid already have three players without EU passports: Vini, 

. Apparently, Vinicius is the player closest to obtaining a Spanish passport.

Man City 'slap price tag' on Gabriel Jesus, it's bigger than Benzema's estimated value

 if the Citizens receive an offer worth €45-50m, reports reliable Mario Cortegana.

It is worth a mention that the Brazilian has just one year left on his current deal with the 

Real Madrid are heavily linked to the 25-year-old's arrival. 

Gabriel Jesus could be a first-choice right winger or a back-up striker at Real Madrid. He registered 25 goal contributions in 41 games for Man City this season.

I see that you are a follower of LaFabrica like I am.  I absolutely believe LaFabrica has gems that I think RM is trying to hide.  I absolutely agree with you that we actually have more than enough cover at every position.  Castillas record might not tell the full story so folks should check out the Juvenile teams.  You see, RM Castilla plays kids from all 3 Juvenile divisions so you get 17, 18, 19 and 20 year olds playing at Castilla when in many leagues they would be in U21 or U23 teams.  Sibacha CB Marvel CB, Edgar FB/CB, Obrador LB, Gila CB/RB, Marin CB, Calleja CB, Christian RB, Asencio CB, and Pablo Ramon CB/LB, Miguel LB and V.Tobias RB are just some examples of a loaded defense with players from across the Juvenile ranks who have already played for Raul's Castilla.  Juvenile A won the UCL Youth League last year and were.unlucky to be repeating but that is an example of how loaded with serious talent we are.  Alvaro, Villar, Iglesias, Nico Paz, Aranda, Peter, Arribas, Marvin, Pippi, Latassa, Dani, Blanco are all probably ready to step up as well.  my one fear is we won't be able to hold on to a lot of these awesome studs and I fear they will have us regretting it so hopefully we get buy back or first refusal clauses on all those that we absolutely MUST let go.  Adam, Baba, Piriz, Pece and Alejandro Martin are going to be interesting to watch as they rise up the ranks.

I appreciate your analysis. You are even more knowledgeable than me about these wonderful players who missed the La Liga Santander by the whiskers last season. I am aware that Take Kubo was a better player than Ansu Fati in Barcelona junior team but see where Ansu is today. We need to encourage our young players. Infact our coaches should be given standing instructions to include a certain minimum number of young players every season from our junior teams. They can only take chances if given opportunities. Thanks.

If there problems of non-Euro Visa, we can look inward: 
As right wing : Sergio Arribas, Peter Federico, Marvin Park.
As No:9, we have Raul De Thomas whom we shouldn't have sold in the first place. 
Played 34 league matches for Espanyol, 17 goals + 3 assists. Not bad for a back up.
Why not Borja Mayoral who scored 6 goals + 1 assists in 18 appearances for Getafe.
As left back: Fran Garcia, Miguel Gutierrez. 
As right back: Alvaro Odriozola, Rafa Marin. 
All these players are Spanish and don't need any Visa and are our players. They are all worth taking risks on. As we are,we already have a solid team, so let's develop some home grown talents as well. Barcelona is doing it, we have players in Castilla who are better than Gavi, Sergio Arribas is one, Give Peter Federico a chance, we may have an Mbappe a year or two from now.
Why would we consider Raul Gonzalez as 1st team coach if we cannot use his boys in our first team. 
Not to forget that we have Brahimi Diaz, Take Kubo, Antonio Blanco loitering somewhere.

Lets go for EU players...we want a ST and RW.
1. For a ST, we can go for a short term solution Lewandoskwi..
2. At RW, there are many options like Gnabry, Mahrez and Nkunku. Or we can trust Sergio Arribas.

this is also a question, and uk is also  a europe. or only spanish will work on it?

Is UK Spain? If he comes to Real Madrid, he needs a Spanish passport to be register as Non EU

chris ... the Madrid fan since 1995

Not have to be a Spanish passport.
Most be a EU member or have any EU Nationality. If he get his Spanish nationality is because he ask for it in Spain. Because he has been living or working for a certain time in the country.
This rules apply to all teams in E U.
