Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior is considering buying a football club in Portugal's second division, a source has told ESPN.

The Brazil international -- currently in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for the Spanish Supercopa -- is thinking about diversifying his business interests with an eye to his future career plans after retiring as a player.

Vinícius started for Madrid in their 3-0 Supercopa semifinal victory over Mallorca on Thursday, a result which will see them face Barcelona in Sunday's final.

The news that the Ballon d'Or runner-up is contemplating buying a club in Portugal was first reported by the radio station Cadena COPE.
