Arsenal sense an opening in Vinicius Jr pursuit
Arsenal could be moving closer to signing Vinicius Jr this summer, with momentum shifting in the club's favour. The Real Madrid forward has emerged as a key transfer target for the Premier League champions.
Real Madrid have been locked in talks with the Brazilian over a contract renewal, but they seem to have stalled, with the Spanish giants appearing not to be willing to shift on their current offer. On Friday, Spanish outlet Marca reported that the offer made to the forward would be the 'final' one from Real Madrid.
That's now something that Arsenal could take advantage of as they look to complete a blockbuster signing. As it stands, Vinicius has less than a year remaining on his current contract with Real Madrid.

While the player's preference has been to stay at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid's continued reluctance to negotiate beyond their current offer has seen the mood begin to shift considerably.
This is presenting a golden opportunity for Arsenal, who at every level of the club are united in their determination to push through a deal should the Brazilian's future at Real Madrid remain unresolved this summer.
As reported by football.london, no definitive decision has been reached as yet, with the player unwilling to rush into any final decision. But the positions of both Real Madrid and Arsenal are unmistakably clear. And that is precisely the situation currently unfolding in the Spanish capital.
