Londoners preparing a record! Arsenal increasingly confident in signing Real star

Vinícius Júnior could be swapping Madrid for London as early as this summer.

Details: According to sources close to the negotiations, Arsenal are growing ever more confident about signing Vinícius Júnior, with the deal potentially reaching around €150 million. It's reported that the talks are real, with Arsenal's sporting director Andrea Berta and head coach Mikel Arteta personally involved in the process.

The Brazilian's contract with Real runs until June 30, 2027, and Transfermarkt values the 26-year-old forward at €140 million. If the parties fail to agree on an extension, Madrid risk losing one of their key players for free next summer—and that's exactly what Arsenal are counting on.

Interesting fact: the proposed transfer fee could shatter the current Premier League record—€150 million (around £125 million), which Liverpool once paid for Alexander Isak.
