At this stage, it\u2019s common knowledge that Arsenal want to sign Vinicius Junior<\/a>, that Real Madrid would like to extend his contract, and that the winger and his club are quite a way apart in extension negotiations.<\/p>\n

With Vinicius\u2019 deal up in less than a year, Real may need to sell now if they want to avoid losing the player for free.<\/p>\n

Over in Brazil, Jorge Nicola<\/a> reports that contract talks have stalled, and Real insist they have made their final offer. Nicola adds that as it stands, Vinicius doesn\u2019t seem particularly keen on renewing, with Arsenal keeping a close eye on the situation.<\/p>\n

Rodra reports for ESPN Deportes<\/a> that the ball is entirely in Vinicius\u2019 court, and it\u2019s ultimately going to come down to what he wants.<\/p>\n

The journalist claims Arsenal\u2019s pursuit is not just about Mikel Arteta<\/a> or Andrea Berta<\/a>, but also the club\u2019s owners. KSE are determined to pull off a big deal like this, and they\u2019re ready to go all out to sign the player.<\/p>\n

According to Rodra, Arsenal have spoken with Vinicius\u2019 camp and told them they\u2019re ready to make a move.<\/p>\n

David Ornstein, Mario Cortegana, and James McNicholas reported for The Athletic<\/a> on Saturday that Vinicius\u2019 future remains up in the air, but the Arsenal transfer appeals to Vinicius if he doesn\u2019t renew his contract.<\/p>\n

An agreement on personal terms isn\u2019t expected to be a problem for the Gunners, and The Athletic\u2019s report adds that there are key figures at Madrid who apparently favour selling this summer, if Vinicius doesn\u2019t agree an extension.<\/p>\n

But The Athletic did add that Vinicius is willing to lower his demands to reach a compromise with Real Madrid. The question is only whether that will be enough to bridge a \u201csignificant\u201d gap between the two parties. Especially if Real stand by their stance that they won\u2019t improve their offer.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have reportedly been working behind the scenes for months, and\u00a0Berta\u00a0has told the player\u2019s camp that he would be the star of the Gunners\u2019 project. They now await Vinicius\u2019 decision.<\/p>\n
