Vinicius Junior has stayed away from Real Madrid’s pre-season training as his contract standoff continues, leaving the door open for a potential move to Arsenal.

Vinicius Junior has skipped his scheduled return to Real Madrid pre-season training while his representatives attempt to salvage stalled contract extension talks.

The Brazil winger enters the final year of his current deal, with Madrid officials maintaining a firm stance that they will not improve their terms to match Kylian Mbappe’s wages.

The club has made clear that his future is entirely in his own hands, opening a potential pathway for Arsenal to swoop. Meanwhile, under new manager Jose Mourinho, the Spanish giants are closing in on a €100m acquisition of RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande.

With past interest from Saudi Arabia and Arsenal exploring multiple forward options—including Julian Alvarez and Bradley Barcola—the situation continues to escalate as official club talks remain pending.
