Arsenal are considering an ambitious move for Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior as Mikel Arteta looks for another elite striker capable of replacing his passing line. The Brazilian will bring explosive pace, one-on-one quality and proven Champions League experience to the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n He naturally operates on the left, a position Arsenal have looked to strengthen despite already adding Christos Tsolis this summer.<\/p>\n Negotiations between the clubs have not started. Much will depend on whether Madrid can resolve the winger’s contract situation, as his current deal expires in 2027.<\/p>\n According to David Ornstein of The Athletic<\/a>Arsenal are exploring the possibility of signing Vinicius, although interest remains preliminary and there has been no direct contact with Real Madrid.<\/p>\n The idea is believed to have been approved at all levels at Arsenal, suggesting it is a more than unrealistic proposition.<\/p>\n However, the Gunners are waiting to see how negotiations over a new Madrid contract develop before deciding whether a serious approach is possible.<\/p>\n Real Madrid do not want to lose one of their most valuable players for nothing next summer.<\/p>\n Unless an update breakthrough occurs<\/a>they may end up having to consider offers in the current window rather than let him enter the final months of his deal.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
