Arsenal's Vinicius Junior hopes grow after fresh Real Madrid update

There is growing optimism at Arsenal that Vinícius Júnior will leave Real Madrid and end up in north London before the end of the transfer window, according to a report from AS, as well as recent quotes from David Ornstein.

These are very difficult and nervous times for Real Madrid, Vinícius Júnior, and Arsenal, as the player is in constant meetings with his current club about a possible renewal.

However, there is a big difference between what Vinícius Júnior wants and what Real Madrid want to give him this summer, which is why, according to the two journalists, Arsenal are growing in optimism about landing Vinícius Júnior this summer.

According to the report from AS, the dressing room at Arsenal is already asking questions about the signing, and the players are already beginning to believe that it is likely the Brazilian ends up in that dressing room later this summer.

Arsenal genuinely believe Vinicius Junior can end up at Arsenal this summer

Sporting director Andrea Berta has also convinced the English club that they can pull off the most important and most expensive signing in Premier League history with the arrival of Vinícius Júnior.

Berta believes it is very much possible, but obviously there are a lot of things that people will focus on because it doesn't just depend on his confidence about the deal.

The main driver around this situation is Vinícius Júnior, who is the only person who can decide where he goes.

Obviously, he would want to extend at Real Madrid, but if a deal isn't struck between the two parties, Arsenal are in a very strong position because they are currently the only club that have shown legitimate interest in signing Vinícius Júnior.

This is a saga that has dragged on for almost two years. Vinícius Júnior and Real Madrid have been in contact about an extension for 24 months, but there has not been any agreement.

According to Ornstein, Real Madrid want to pay him 22 million euros, and Vinicius Junior wants somewhere around 28 million euros, alongside a loyalty bonus.

The renewal bonus has also been a topic of discussion in the past, which is something that Real Madrid absolutely do not want to give - although this detail wasn't discussed by Ornstein.

Real Madrid don't want to drag this saga into the season or into next summer. They want this to be over within the next few weeks so that they can plan their squad as soon as possible and figure out whether they want to make any more signings.

It also becomes a distraction for both clubs, and that is something nobody really wants.

Obviously, for Arsenal it would be a much more exciting distraction, but it is still a distraction at the end of the day, and the players would rather know before the season starts than after it.
