Arsenal's first offer for Vinícius

Arsenal are reportedly lining up a €145 million move for Vinicius Junior, with David Ornstein saying the offer would include €135 million up front plus performance-related bonuses.

Contract stand-off at Real Madrid

The Brazil forward’s contract runs until the summer of 2027, but talks over an extension have not yet been completed. That uncertainty has fuelled speculation about his future, especially as Real continue to look at attacking reinforcements.

Spanish reports have suggested Arsenal have already been in touch with Vinicius’s representatives and reached an initial understanding on personal terms. Those claims remain unconfirmed.

No official word yet

There has been no statement from Real Madrid, Arsenal or Vinicius himself to confirm either a formal agreement or direct club-to-club talks. For now, the story remains at the level of media reports.

Earlier reports in Spain said Real had given Vinicius an ultimatum: renew his contract or leave the club. It is still unclear whether Madrid would be willing to sell if Arsenal follow through with an official bid.
