Real Madrid: Florentino Pérez has made a definitive decision on Vinicius Jr

With Yan Diomandé set to join Real Madrid soon, the attacking line-up at the Bernabéu is about to get crowded. Meanwhile, Florentino Pérez has already made his call regarding the Vinicius Jr situation.

At Real Madrid, departures are expected. The Vinicius case is a hot topic at the club. The Brazilian winger has been locked in contract extension talks for weeks, with his current deal expiring in 2027. Negotiations have dragged on, so the equation is straightforward: either the Brazilian pens a new contract in the coming weeks, or he'll be sold this summer.

Arsenal’s Gunners are throwing their hat into this tricky situation. The English club hasn’t quite won over the 26-year-old winger, despite making a very lucrative offer. Still, this pressure from the Premier League side is forcing Los Blancos to act fast.

According to Sky Sports, negotiations are scheduled this week with the player’s entourage to find a solution and extend his stay in Madrid. The British outlet reports that Vinicius “is ultimately expected to remain at Real Madrid beyond this summer’s transfer window.”
