They've lost their minds! Real slap a staggering price tag on Vinicius for Arsenal
Madrid have made it clear to Arsenal: there will be no bargain deal.
Details: According to ESPN FC, Real have set Vinicius Junior’s price tag at €150 million. That’s the sum the Madrid club will demand if Arsenal move from interest to serious negotiations.
This means a potential Vinicius transfer could become one of the most expensive deals in football history. Arsenal will have to break the bank to convince Real to part with one of their marquee attacking stars.
The London club have been linked to the Brazilian winger for a long time. Earlier reports suggested Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta personally spoke with the player and promised to build the team’s project around him.
It’s worth noting that Vinicius is contracted to Real until June 30, 2027. Transfermarkt currently values the 26-year-old Brazilian at €140 million.
Reminder: Arteta plays his trump card! Arsenal boss speaks directly with Vinicius.
