According to The Athletic's David Ornstein and James McNicholas, the 26-year-old forward ranks among the primary targets to bolster Arsenal's attacking options. Nevertheless, the club's interest is still in its infancy, and no formal negotiations have taken place between the two sides.

It is understood that the prospective transfer enjoys backing across various levels within the Arsenal hierarchy, and the London outfit are keeping a close watch on developments surrounding Vinícius's contract talks with Real Madrid.

The Brazilian's existing deal has only one season remaining, yet the two parties have thus far been unable to make headway on an extension. For their part, the Madrid board are resolute in their refusal to part with one of their star assets without compensation, particularly given that the player is owed a substantial loyalty bonus come next summer.
