Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho has been in direct contact with Vinícius Jr. as the club seeks to make potentially vital discussions with the Brazilian forward.
It follows Arsenal’s interest in the 26-year-old, as it is believed the Gunners are keeping a close eye on his future.
Arsenal step up interest in Vinícius Jr.
Vinícius is coming into the final year of his current Real Madrid deal, making it an increasingly significant situation for the Spanish giants.
The Gunners are said to be closely monitoring the situation and are considering the Brazilian as a potential signing before his contract runs out.
Mikel Arteta’s side are thought to be keen to consider the transfer of the winger to the Premier League, but any move would be subject to Real Madrid’s intentions and the player’s wishes.
Mourinho makes his position clear
Vinícius’ future is still up for discussion but it seems Mourinho isn’t having any of that.
The Portuguese coach has been in touch with the Brazilian, and has expressed his gratitude and explained that the forward is still on his list at Real Madrid.
Mourinho is thought to have been impressed by Vinícius’ pace, creativity and impact in the final third, which could be crucial for the manager’s tactics.
Contract talks could prove decisive
The next phase of the situation will likely involve talks between Vinícius and Real Madrid’s management.
The talks may have a significant impact on his future, as his current contract is still pending resolution, and he may be looking at a new challenge in the Spanish capital.
Real Madrid will not want to lose one of their most important attacking players for nothing, while Arsenal might see the opportunity to bolster their front line.
Vinícius faces major decision
Vinícius’ future is still uncertain, as the player hasn’t made his intentions public yet.
Mourinho’s move, however, may have a major impact. The Real Madrid manager seems adamant about keeping the Brazilian, whatever the final decision is.
As Arsenal look to continue their hunt and negotiations are ongoing, Vinícius’ summer transfer could be one of the biggest stories this summer for Real Madrid.
