Arsenal<\/a> are ready to throw everything they have at a deal to sign Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid this summer, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The Gunners have brought in three signings so far this summer with Illan Meslier joining a free transfer from Leeds United, while Christos Tzolis moved from Club Brugge and Piero Hincapie turned his loan from Bayer Leverkusen into a permanent transfer.<\/p>\n

Arsenal<\/a> recently missed out on the signing of Morgan Rogers, who was their top target to improve their attack, with Chelsea paying \u00a3117m to land the England international.<\/p>\n

The Gunners weren\u2019t willing to get near \u00a3117m for Rogers as they look to avoid paying over the odds for players but they are now looking for alternative options.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior, who has been struggling to negotiate a new contract at the Bernabeu, has risen to the top of Arsenal\u2019s summer wanted list.<\/p>\n

The Athletic\u2018s David Ornstein revealed on Saturday<\/a> that Arsenal have an interest in the Brazil international with Vinicius featuring \u2018prominently among multiple candidates for the Premier League champions to bolster their attack\u2019.<\/p>\n

ESPN journalist Rodra added that Arsenal are \u2018the only possible destination for Vinicius this summer\u2019 if he leaves the Bernabeu, where he has been since 2018.<\/p>\n

There were rumours on Sunday<\/a> that Real Madrid will ask for \u20ac160m for Vinicius Jr and that the La Liga giants \u2018will not even sit down to negotiate\u2019 for a figure below that.<\/p>\n

Finances will not be an issue for Arsenal if Vini Jr becomes available<\/p>\n

But Football Transfers insists that<\/a> Arsenal are \u2018ready to break the bank\u2019 for the Brazil international with a financial package for a player of his calibre not an issue for the Gunners hierarchy.<\/p>\n

The report adds:\u00a0\u2018FootballTransfers has been informed by those close to the deal that the financial package to sign the 26-year-old superstar is not viewed as an obstacle by Mikel Arteta\u2019s side \u2013 on the condition that Vini makes it clear that he is interested in a move to North London.<\/p>\n

\u2018The sources added that the club\u2019s hierarchy, including co-chairman Josh Kroenke, see the forward as the rare type of player who is capable of elevating the Gunners\u2019 level and helping them to back-to-back Premier League titles as well as the Champions League.\u2019<\/p>\n

Arsenal \u2018will have no hesitation\u2019 in throwing everything at completing a deal for Vinicius Junior if it\u2019s clear that he is available and wants the move to the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Gunners\u2019 path to the Brazilian could have been smoothed over by Real Madrid\u2019s imminent acquisition of RB Leipzig\u2019s Yan Diomande with Fabrizio Romano giving the deal his famous \u2018here we go\u2019 confirmation.<\/p>\n

Romano posted on X<\/a>: \u2018BREAKING: YAN DIOMANDE TO REAL MADRID, HERE WE GO! Agreement closed tonight with RB Leipzig for fee over \u20ac100m for the Ivorian winger. Diomande will fly to Madrid this week for medical tests and contract signing until June 2031. DONE.\u2019<\/p>\n
