Real Madrid would be open to Vinícius Júnior leaving the club if no agreement on a new contract is reached, Yankee Scores reports.
Real Madrid have no plans to up their last renewal offer.
Vinicius is back in Valdebebas on Monday for pre-season training after his post-World Cup holiday, with doubts still over his future and with just a year left on his current deal.
No date has been set for a meeting between Madrid executives and the Brazil international’s representatives, sources told ESPN, and the club believes it is now up to the player to decide whether to sign a new contract or look for an exit elsewhere.
There has been no contact with the Premier League champions, but Arsenal believe they would be in a strong position if Vinícius were to choose a move.
Arsenal Are Frontrunners
Arsenal are believed to be monitoring the winger, with Yankee Scores reporting that the Gunners have looked into the possibility of a deal.
Madrid and Vinícius’s representatives have been at an impasse for a long time over a new contract.
Arsenal are keen on the winger and have looked into the possibility of a deal.
Madrid and Vinícius’s representatives have been at a standoff for some time over a new contract.
The Brazilian was not in any rush to renew.
Vinícius, 26, joined Madrid as a teenager in 2018 and has blossomed into one of the world’s best players, scoring in two Champions League finals and finishing runner-up in the 2024 men’s Ballon d’Or.
Last season he was unhappy under former coach Xabi Alonso, reacting angrily to being substituted during a Clásico at the Bernabéu and the team have now gone two seasons without a major trophy.
Madrid have been busy in the summer transfer window, with forward Carlos Espí arriving this week.
