Arsenal are set to suffer a setback in their pursuit of Vinicius Junior, as the attacker is now very likely to sign a new contract with Real Madrid this summer.
Over the past few months, Vinicius and the Spanish club have struggled to reach an agreement, a situation that encouraged Arsenal to explore the possibility of making a move for the winger.
If Vinicius failed to extend his contract in Madrid and wanted to continue playing in Europe, Arsenal would have been one of the strongest candidates to sign him. The Gunners have spent recent weeks trying to convince him to join their squad, but the player remains focused on listening to Madrid’s proposal.
Vinicius Junior moves closer to Madrid extension
The Brazilian is allowing Real Madrid to present an offer that can convince him to remain at the club and sign a contract extension. A new deal previously appeared unlikely, but the situation has changed in recent days.
The two parties now seem to be closer to reaching an agreement, with negotiations progressing towards a positive outcome for the Spanish side.
According to The Daily Mail, the salary package being offered by Real Madrid is considered satisfactory and has already been accepted by Vinicius. The only remaining issue preventing the completion of the agreement is the signing-on fee.
Arsenal face disappointment in transfer pursuit
Once the signing-on fee is agreed, the report states that the contract extension will be completed, meaning Arsenal will miss out on their target.
The Gunners had been monitoring the situation closely and hoped that the lack of progress between Vinicius and Real Madrid could provide them with an opportunity to make a move.
However, the latest developments suggest that the winger is prepared to continue his career in Madrid. Arsenal may now have to look elsewhere for attacking reinforcements as Vinicius appears close to committing his future to the Spanish giants.
The potential agreement represents a major boost for Real Madrid and a disappointment for Arsenal, who had hoped to take advantage of the uncertainty surrounding the player’s contract situation.

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
CALLING ALL ARSENAL FANS! Anyone who would like to contribute an Article or Video opinion piece on JustArsenal, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through this link…
Lets get real here shall we. There was never any real problem with what Real were going to offer and what he’s willing to accept.
All this has done is get the hopes up of the Arsenal fans who actually allowed themselves to believe this story in the first place, and now they’ll be disappointed that it’s not going to happen.
It never was going to happen, all this has done is given us all something to talk about. But ultimately a lot of hot air has been waisted on this subject.
Maybe we can start up a non-conversation about how were going to sign Mbappe next week, followed the next week with our multi- million pound bid for Haaland.
Wasted, OOPS!. I must learn to spell.
Big players do not move from big clubs, because they cannot be replaced, club will go over and beyond to keep them. I liked the news, and am not disappointed, but what is the exit plan? All LWs on the market are not top draw, and I would rather keep Martinelli and get Alvarez (get Jesus out) which strengthens out forward line a lot without elite LW still
Alvarez would be a great signing to bolster our front line in two areas.
If we go into the season without adding a world-class left winger AGAIN, it’s definitely not the end of the world. After all, we won the league last year with two underperforming left wingers (by usual standards). Tzolis isn’t the final piece obviously, but he covers us until the right opportunity presents itself. And just maybe he surprises us all…
Mudryk could be Available,could probably be picked up for half what Chelsea paid and Arteta wanted him before he went to Chelsea .
I still maintain mate I have read very few who actually believe this will happen
Oh what a surprise he just played Arsenal from the start, he had no intention of moving to the premier league, these type of players can’t hack the premier league physicality. That’s why we never see Messi, Ronaldinho, Brazilian Ronaldo, etc, in the premier league. Them sort of players wouldn’t last 5 minutes in our league. I can’t believe Arsenal thought they had a chance with this big headed player, I’m glad we aren’t getting him as he would have been a disruption to the rest of the squad 100%. Just go for Barcola, Kroupi or Yildiz.
I don’t get what he’s said that has changed anything
And the arrogance of our fanbase continues to astound me ….
Messi, Ronaldinho, Brazilian Ronaldo wouldn’t last 5 min in our league ?
All our miles better then what we have so logically of course they would
So why did none of these big players not play in the premier league? We have the money and resources to have these players in the premier league, but they don’t want to play in it because they wouldn’t be able to have time on the ball etc, as the premier league is faster and more physical, these type of players would of looked inferior in my opinion if they had played in the premier league. Ronaldinho had the chance to play for Man Utd but chose not too? Messi had the chance to play at Man City but didn’t want too, it has happened with a lot of these types of show boater players😀. I personally would of liked to have seen them in our English league but it never happened, at least Portuguese Ronaldo has played in nearly every league, so he has proven himself ten folds, which I think has made him the best player going in the last 20 odd years. I think it will be a mistake for Arsenal to sign this player as he will be trouble in thinking he is the team instead of not being part of the team.
because he was happy to play at Barcelona
trust me if he had at any point said I want to come to England any club would have taken him .
so we had …… Vincius JR, Alvarez , Williams , Mbappe , and now Messi, Ronaldinho, Brazilian Ronaldo apparently wouldn’t last 5 mins in the Prem lol
I will remind you this when we have Havertz and Maduake in the final third
He didn’t “play us”.
We’ve always known he wants to stay at Madrid. From our side, we want a world-class upgrade at left wing, perceived an opportunity with his contract negotiations stalling, and so we’re making it clear we could give him a better deal. That’s all this is. The rest is just media noise.
“Just go for Barcola, Kroupi or Yildiz.”
Ya, OK. Here’s the real menu:
– Barcola. Nope (unfortunately). PSG want way too much to sell to us, one of their rivals in the CL, and they failed in trying to get their one replacement target in Diomande anyway, so it’s probably not worth us pursuing this window.
– Yildiz. Nope. Juve don’t want to sell him – he would also cost £100m+, with less evidence of his ability and less commercial value.
– Kroupi. Nope. Bournemouth also value the player at £100m+ …. and he’s out injured for the next 4 months! So we wouldn’t be able to field him anyway until the second half of the season.
– Julian Alvarez. Maybe. Potentially available to us because Atletico don’t want to sell to Barcelona. A big outlay would be needed for him too, over £100m, but with clear evidence of fit for the Premier League over say Yildiz, and he can increase our firepower in TWO roles, which is something our recruitment team definitely likes about him.
– Kvara. Nope, not available.
– Mbappe. Nope, not available.
– Diomande. Not interested in us, wants Madrid apparently
– Rodrygo. Was of interest last summer, but nope, long term injury.
– Rashford. Maybe. Potentially available if Man Utd would consider selling to us, but they don’t really want to, obviously, and even though he’s really good, he isn’t really the epic propaganda signing we’re after.
– Nusa, Leao and others are not really serious options as they don’t level us up much at this point. We just bought Tzolis, so there’s no urgent need to add another winger of similar caliber.
I probably forgot someone, but that’s about the sum of it, and why we are twerking for Vini Jr this window.
Will add:
– Nico Williams. Nope. Recruitment likes him as we all know, but he is strongly committed to his career at Athletic Club, just signed a new contract.
– Ndiaye. Nope. This one has been doing the rounds in the gutter press the last day or so, but at £65-£75m I don’t see any reason we would go for him myself.
Vini never promised Arsenal he will outrightly sign. If his demands are met he will renew. Arsenal knew this and were only positioning themselves to sign him if the opportunity opened up.
We will only be disappointed if he left Madrid and went to another team.
Exactly. Thank you.
