The Brazilian star was the best player from the Samba side in the 2026 World Cup, and it seems that he is ready for a new season to give everything he can to serve the shirt that he will wear.

Real Madrid do not want to lose Vinicius for free!

Vinicius is now in the last season of his deal with Real Madrid, and it is believed the club prefers to transfer him now rather than see him leave without a fee in twelve months. The Brazilian has maintained excellent performances lately and was the top player for his country at the 2026 World Cup.

As per Sport, Real Madrid have now made Vinicius available for a transfer, as they do not want him to see out his current deal. The same source indicates that the La Liga outfit have already placed a price tag on the forward.

Vinicius looked set on proving his worth for the pay he has sought from Real Madrid since the start of the summer. Still, no contract renewal has been agreed, casting doubt on his long-term stay.

His representatives are said to be weighing an exit, and Arsenal are ready to pounce. The Gunners consider the Brazilian a transformative talent and see his arrival as a strong declaration of ambition.

Arsenal are expected to set a record by signing Vinicius Junior!

Real Madrid are set to ask for €160 million for Vinicius, a figure that underscores his value and significance to the team. Any club aiming to land him must therefore be prepared to make a major financial outlay.

Should Arsenal push forward with the move, they would likely shatter the British transfer record to get it done. They would need to match Madrid's asking price and persuade the Brazilian that the Emirates is the right place for his future.

Though the deal remains highly difficult to pull off, Arsenal are still keen on the winger and will keep tracking events. The next few weeks should reveal whether they can convert this bold chase into one of the summer's biggest signings.
