Arsenal accept defeat in pursuit of Real Madrid superstar: ‘He is going to renew’
According to MARCA , Arsenal have accepted that a move for Vinicius Jr. is no longer realistic, with the Premier League club now convinced that the Brazilian will remain at Real Madrid and sign a new contract.
Real Madrid’s activity in the transfer market has continued to dominate headlines following the imminent arrival of Yan Diomande and the club’s official contacts with Rodri over a potential move to the Santiago Bernabeu.
Against that backdrop, Arsenal had been preparing an ambitious move for Vinicius after missing out on Morgan Rogers.
With funds still available, Mikel Arteta’s side had been ready to submit a major offer for the Brazilian winger.
Contract uncertainty sparked hope
Vinicius’ contract renewal has become one of Real Madrid’s longest-running transfer stories, stretching into a second consecutive summer.
The Brazilian has yet to sign a new deal, with his wage demands, believed to be close to €30 million per season, slowing negotiations.

However, time is becoming increasingly limited.
His current contract expires next summer, leaving Real Madrid with three possible outcomes: agree a renewal, sell the player, or risk losing him on a free transfer at the end of his contract, a scenario both parties are keen to avoid.
This opened the door for Arsenal to consider making a move for the 26-year-old winger.
Arsenal give up
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the contract negotiations, Arsenal now believe Vinicius will remain at Real Madrid.
According to the report, figures within the London club are convinced that the winger will extend his contract.
“He is going to renew,” is the consistent message coming from Arsenal when asked about the possibility of making an offer for the Brazilian.
While the club will continue to monitor the situation, they have effectively abandoned hopes of signing him this summer.

The report also notes that Vinicius has given no public indication that he wants to leave Real Madrid.
Unlike Julian Alvarez, who openly expressed his desire to leave Atletico Madrid during the World Cup, the Brazilian has made no public statements, social media posts or gestures suggesting that he is seeking an exit.
Arsenal turn attention to other targets
With Vinicius now considered unattainable, Arsenal are expected to focus on signing another high-profile wide attacker.
The future of Gabriel Martinelli remains uncertain, while Bradley Barcola is another player under consideration, although Liverpool are also competing for the PSG winger.
For now, Vinicius has become little more than an unrealised summer ambition for the North London club, who increasingly expect the Brazilian’s future to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu .
