Arsenal Eyes Vinicius Junior if Brazilian Star Doesn't Extend Real Madrid Contract
English Premier League champions Arsenal are considering a move for Real Madrid and Brazil forward Vinicius Junior if he does not renew his contract, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein.
London club Arsenal, the newly crowned English Premier League champions, are exploring the possibility of signing Real Madrid and Brazil international Vinicius Junior. According to football reporter David Ornstein of The Athletic, the club's hierarchy has already approved the idea, though no formal talks between the clubs have begun.
Vinicius Junior's current contract with Real Madrid runs until the end of the 2026/27 season. If the Brazilian does not agree to an extension, the Spanish side is keen to avoid losing one of its brightest stars on a free transfer.
The forward joined Real Madrid in 2018 from Brazilian club Flamengo. Since then, he has made 375 appearances across all competitions, scoring 128 goals and providing 100 assists.
