Real Madrid Tables New Offer for Vinicius, But It May Not Be Enough

Real Madrid's management has reportedly tabled a new contract offer to Vinicius Jr. today, aiming to secure the Brazilian's long-term future at the club. According to Cadena Ser, the proposal includes an annual salary of 22 million euros, potentially rising to 24 million with bonuses. The new deal would extend until the summer of 2031. Vinicius currently earns 18 million euros. The same source indicates that the royal club is unwilling to increase their offer further, and the Brazilian is unlikely to be satisfied, as his earnings would still lag significantly behind Kylian Mbappé's estimated 30 million euros.

According to David Ornstein, Vinicius is holding out for a minimum of 28 million euros. This situation could present a significant opportunity for Arsenal. The English champions are reportedly keen on signing Vinicius, prepared to offer 100 million euros upfront, with an additional 20 million in performance-related bonuses. The London club is also said to be ready to meet all of the player's personal demands regarding his terms.

Spanish newspaper "AS" further reports that within the Arsenal dressing room, there's a growing belief that Vinicius will be joining their ranks next season.
