Arsenal bin dey dream of signing Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior for di summer, but e look like di dream don nearly finish. According to our gist, di Gunners bin dey explore di possibility of landing di Brazilian winger, but dem no go fit succeed.
Vinicius dey expected to remain for di Bernabeu beyond di transfer window, despite contract dey end next year. Real Madrid don schedule more talks and dem dey confident say dem go keep one of dia key attackers.
Before dis, Arsenal don miss out on Morgan Rogers wey Aston Villa sell to Chelsea for huge £117 million. So Arteta and im boys don return to drawing board.
Meanwhile, Viktor Gyokeres don start well for Arsenal for 2025/26 season, scoring 14 goals for Premier League and 21 overall. But rumours dey fly say Gyokeres fit go Atletico Madrid, and maybe Julian Alvarez go come opposite direction? No clear yet.
Now, di main gist: Arsenal dey look Vinicius Junior. Real Madrid don put price tag of €160m (about £137m) for public, meaning dem fit sell am if dem no reach contract agreement. Di player get only one year left for im contract, and talks don stall for months. If dem no settle, Vinicius fit talk to other clubs for January and move free next summer.
Saudi Pro League also dey interested, but e hard to believe say Vini fit go there now. Arsenal go be good move for am, but wetin im go bring? Pace (35 fast breaks last season, highest for Real), skill, and unpredictability wey Arsenal don lack. Im also hit woodwork seven times. But im crossing no too sharp—only 12 of 79 crosses found target. However, im ball recovery (137) and duels (574, 132 more than any teammate) show say im dey work hard.
One issue na im attitude wey dey cause wahala for Spain, but e fit also unite di team. Make we see how far dis matter go.
