Real Madrid have made Vinicius Jr an improved contract offer as they look to keep the Brazil winger at the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old has entered the final 12 months of his contract and has attracted interested from Arsenal in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
Talks over a new deal at Real were at an impasse but the Spanish side have now made a new offer to Vinicius, who is understood to be appreciative of the fresh terms.<\/p>\n
Real now await Vinicius’ decision, but senior managers – including returning head coach Jose Mourinho – are now hopeful he will renew.<\/p>\n
It is understood Real are expecting a response within hours rather than days.<\/p>\n
If Vinicius rejects the contract, Arsenal are willing to accelerate their interest in the Brazilian.<\/p>\n
Vinicius signed a contract extension at Real three years ago which runs until 2027, and the club and his representatives have been in talks over a fresh deal for the past 18 months.<\/p>\n
He returned to the club on Monday for his first pre-season training session and medical assessment following his World Cup campaign with Brazil.<\/p>\n
Vinicius, who has made 375 appearances for Real in all competitions, scoring 128 goals, is believed to want recognition as Los Blancos’ top star financially. <\/p>\n
However, Real are traditionally strict about maintaining their salary structure under president Florentino Perez.<\/p>\n
Vinicius has publicly described Real as “the club of my dreams” and said he hopes to remain there “for many years”.<\/p>\n
Arsenal have identified the Brazilian as their priority left-wing target should his position change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Real Madrid have made Vinicius Jr an improved contract offer as they look to keep the Brazil winger…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":728609,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-728608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728608"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728608\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
