Arsenal line up record wage to lure Vini Jr from Real Madrid | OneFootball

Current English champions promise a surreal offer for ex-Flamengo star Vini Jr

Vini Jr is already part of history and an idol at Real Madrid (ESP). However, Arsenal (ENG) intend to end that relationship, which has lasted since 2018. The current English champions are willing to make a historic investment to sign the forward. According to British newspaper The Telegraph, the London club is preparing an offer that would make the Brazilian attacker the highest-paid player in the team’s history.

The English club’s interest comes amid negotiations to renew Vini Jr’s contract with Real Madrid. Although there is still no official offer between the clubs, Arsenal’s board is monitoring the situation and sees an opportunity if talks between the Brazilian and the Spanish side do not progress.

WHAT SALARY DOES ARSENAL WANT TO OFFER VINI JR?

According to The Telegraph, Vini currently earns around £400,000 per week at Real Madrid, an amount equivalent to approximately R$ 3 million. Arsenal would be willing to top that figure to convince the forward to swap Spain for England.

The plan would be to offer the highest salary in the club’s history, reinforcing the London board’s desire to sign one of the biggest players in world football. Even so, the newspaper points out that there has still been no formal negotiation with Real Madrid.

WHY HASN’T THE RENEWAL WITH REAL MADRID HAPPENED YET?

Vinicius Júnior’s current contract was signed in 2022 and officially announced in 2023. The deal includes net wages of around €18 million per season (approximately R$ 112 million per year), as well as a €1 billion release clause.

According to the British publication, the Brazilian is seeking a salary increase that reflects his leading role in the Madrid squad, especially after Kylian Mbappé’s arrival. The deadlock in talks has opened the door for European clubs to keep a close eye on the situation. Even so, Real Madrid still view Vini Jr as a key part of the sporting project and show no interest in negotiating the sale of the No. 7.

HOW WAS VINI JR’S LAST SEASON?

Since arriving at Real Madrid in 2018, Vinicius Júnior has established himself as one of the Spanish team’s main players. Last season, the forward scored 22 goals for the club and once again proved decisive in domestic and international competitions.

In addition to his performances for Real Madrid, Vini Jr also played a standout role for the Brazilian national team during the World Cup, finding the net four times in five matches and confirming his status as a leading figure in Brazil’s shirt.
