Real to resume talks with Arsenal target Vinicius Jr
Real Madrid and Vinicius Jr will resume contract talks this week as Arsenal wait in the wings.
Real Madrid and Arsenal are resuming contract negotiations with Brazilian star Vinicius Jr. The 26-year-old forward, who is currently under contract until 2027, is a target for the Gunners should his current situation remain unresolved. Vinicius, who has described Real Madrid as "the club of my dreams," was seen training with Jose Mourinho for the first time this week.
However, his future remains uncertain due to disagreements over wages and status within the club. Real Madrid is hesitant to break their salary structure under president Florentino Perez, with Kylian Mbappe currently the highest earner on the team. If a new contract cannot be agreed upon, Arsenal may step in and make a move for the forward.
