Kylian Mbappé is back after helping France finish fourth at the FIFA World Cup, while Jude Bellingham returns with a bronze medal. Vinicius Junior is also preparing for the new campaign after Brazil's disappointing Round of 16 exit.

However, before pre-season even begins, the Brazilian winger has become one of the biggest talking points in football, not because of his performances on the pitch, but because of his striking new appearance.

In the past 24 hours, Vinicius has gone viral after photos of his new look surfaced online, sparking widespread discussion among fans.

According to Brazilian outlet TMC, the Real Madrid forward underwent a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to reshape and better define his chin.

The treatment was reportedly performed at a specialised cosmetic clinic in Goiânia using advanced facial contouring techniques to enhance his jawline while maintaining a natural appearance.

TMC added that the procedure was minimally invasive and did not involve surgery. The report also claimed the clinic enforced strict security measures to protect the Brazilian's privacy, but details and images of the treatment eventually leaked, quickly spreading across social media.
