According to Sky Sports News, Vinicius Junior is set to stay at Real Madrid beyond the current summer, with the Spanish club having no intention of selling him and being confident that he will agree to a new contract. Despite interest from Arsenal, who are closely monitoring his situation, Real Madrid is keen on retaining the player. New manager Jose Mourinho highly values Vinicius and wants him to remain a key Galactico. With only a year left on his current deal, Vinicius could sign a pre-contract agreement with any non-Spanish club in six months, potentially joining them for free next summer.
Real Madrid is aware of the risk of losing him for nothing and is eager to secure a new long-term contract. The club's valuation of the player is around £137m, a significant amount to forgo. Meanwhile, Arsenal continues to explore the possibility of signing Vinicius, although they are also considering other targets, including Bradley Barcola, who has indicated that he will not sign a new contract with PSG.
