Arsenal aims to achieve one of the greatest coups of the mercato while trying to recruit Vinícius Jr. According to an article by Foot Mercato, this Sunday, July 26, 2026, quoting The Telegraph, the Gunners are ready to offer him a historic contract, with a salary higher than the 470,000 euros a week he currently receives in Real Madrid, making him the best paid player in London's history.
Arsenal's management would have already assessed the financial feasibility of the operation and expressed its readiness to make this important investment. However, no official contact has yet been established with Real Madrid.
The file looks particularly complicated. The new Madrid coach, José Mourinho, does not want to let the Brazilian international leave, despite the fact that he enters in the last year of his contract and that the Real is about to finalize the arrival of Yan Diomandé.
