Real Madrid tables improved contract terms to Vinicius Junior to fend off Arsenal interest
Real Madrid have improved their contract offer to Vinicius Junior as they seek to fend off growing interest from Arsenal and secure the Brazilian forward’s long-term future.
Real Madrid have presented Vinicius Junior with an improved contract offer in a renewed effort to secure the Brazilian forward’s long-term future at the Santiago Bernabéu.
The latest proposal follows fresh negotiations between club executives and the player’s representatives in Madrid, with both parties attempting to resolve long-running differences over financial terms.
According to The Athletic, the revised offer better reflects Vinicius’ importance to the club after previous talks stalled over salary, bonuses and renewal incentives.
The 26-year-old has attracted serious interest from Arsenal, who are closely monitoring the situation as they look to strengthen their attacking options.
Vinicius, who joined Real Madrid from Flamengo in 2018, remains one of the club’s most influential players despite a trophyless 2025-26 campaign.
The Brazil international returned from the FIFA World Cup in impressive form and is expected to play a central role in the club’s plans under new head coach Jose Mourinho this season.
The winger must now decide whether to accept Madrid’s improved proposal, continue negotiations or consider other options before his contract expires.
A renewal would strengthen Real Madrid’s long-term project, while any failure to reach an agreement is likely to intensify speculation over a potential record-breaking move to Arsenal.
