Vinícius Júnior has returned to Arsenal’s radar, according to journalist Josep Pedrerol. The English club tried to sign the Real Madrid player last summer before he renewed his contract with the Spanish side. The report says Mikel Arteta admires the Brazilian, who is having a disappointing season and has scored just one goal for Real Madrid this season.
The first obstacle, according to the report, is Arsenal’s need to free up funds, which could require selling players. Mikel Merino and Martín Zubimendi are mentioned as potential departures. The second obstacle is that Vinícius is in no rush to leave, while he is under contract with Real Madrid until June 2032, and an Arsenal offer is not considered serious at present.
Vinícius’s suspension in La Liga has ended, making him available to play for Real Madrid in the coming period. The player hopes to regain his form, while the report notes that Yan Diomande is performing strongly with the team, making competition more difficult for Vinícius.
