Arsenal are ready to pursue Vinicius Jr if contract talks with Real Madrid break down, with decisive negotiations set to shape the Brazilian’s future.
Arsenal are positioning themselves for a potential move for Vinicius Jr as the Brazilian’s contract negotiations with Real Madrid remain unresolved, according to The Athletic.
The Gunners have reportedly received approval from ownership to pursue a deal, with manager Mikel Arteta a long-time admirer of the winger. Arsenal are prepared to meet personal terms if the 26-year-old decides against renewing his contract.
Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr are expected to hold decisive talks next week, with differences over salary, bonuses and a renewal payment still unresolved.
Arsenal remain optimistic about a deal if negotiations collapse, although extending his stay in Madrid remains a realistic possibility.
