Vinicius Junior will be staying at Real Madrid this summer, with the club confirming they have no intention of selling their star winger despite strong interest from Arsenal.
The 26‑year‑old left winger has one year remaining on his current contract, prompting speculation over his future – with Arsenal linked with a potential record offer and Real Madrid understood to value him at around £137,000,000. But Sky Sports and trusted sources confirm Vinicius is leaning towards extending his stay at the Bernabéu, where new manager José Mourinho rates him highly and wants him as a key part of his plans.
Fresh talks between Real Madrid and Vinicius’s representatives are scheduled this week to push forward a long‑term extension, with the club fully confident an agreement will be reached. No formal bid has been submitted by Arsenal, who are now expected to turn their attention to alternative wide targets such as Bradley Barcola.
Vinicius, who joined Madrid as a teenager from Flamengo, has repeatedly stated his affection for the club and desire to build his legacy there. While contract terms are still being finalised, the message from the Spanish capital is clear: he is not for sale at any price this window.
