Real Madrid are open to the possibility of Vinícius Júnior leaving the club if there's no agreement on a new contract for the player, sources have told ESPN, with Madrid having no plans to increase their last renewal offer. Real Madrid have tabled a final take it or leave it contract offer to Vinicius Junior as he continues to attract interest from Arsenal.
However, the Spanish club have told the winger that their latest offer of a new deal is final and that there will be no further negotiations or increase in their proposal. During talks with Vinicius Jr, Madrid are said to have made their stance clear – if the winger does not renew his contract, they will sell him before the end of the transfer window.
There has been a long-term standoff between Madrid and Vinícius's representatives over a new contract. Sources told ESPN that no date has yet been set for a meeting between Madrid executives and the Brazil international's representatives, with the club believing it is now down to the player to decide whether to sign a new contract or seek a move elsewhere.
Vinicius Junior’s preference has been known to want to remain with Los Blancos, but an unwillingness so far from Real to find a compromise beyond this latest offer has seen sentiment begin to change. This is opening the door for Arsenal, who, at all levels, are aligned in making a deal happen should the player’s future with Real Madrid fail to conclude this summer in a contract renewal. football.london understands no decision has yet been taken, and the player will not rush into a choice, but the picture is clear where both Real Madrid and Arsenal now stand.
