The Premier does not forget Vinícius

Real Madrid is willing to sell Vinícius Jr in the upcoming winter transfer market if he does not improve his performance in the coming months. A Real Madrid news that arises alongside the interest from two Premier League clubs in the Brazilian: Manchester United and Arsenal.

According to journalist Miguel Serrano, the management at Concha Espina has opened the door for the first time to a multimillion transfer due to the South American forward's sporting decline and the definitive emergence of Ivorian Yan Diomande, a situation that has reactivated the priority interest of Arsenal and Manchester United in the Premier League.

The loss of the starting position to Yan Diomande and his modest numbers

The performance of the carioca forward at the start of the 2026-2027 season has raised alarms within the coaching staff of Real Madrid. Vinícius has recorded just 1 goal and 1 assist in 12 official matches, figures that are far from his decisive impact in previous campaigns and that have affected the fluidity of the Madrid attack.

In the offices of Santiago Bernabéu, the tactical criterion is consolidating that Yan Diomande, at 19 years old, must assume the undisputed starting position on the left wing within the base formation of 4-2-3-1. The greater complementarity of the African winger with Kylian Mbappé has relegated the Brazilian to a secondary role, turning his continuity into a locker room dilemma that the club will resolve through a transfer if his performance does not experience an immediate turnaround.

Arteta wants his star at the Emirates and United projects a luxury attack

The British market remains on high alert to take advantage of this situation. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal has not removed the Brazilian international from its priority list after unsuccessfully attempting to sign him last summer, an operation that did not succeed due to the player’s contract renewal with Real Madrid. The San Sebastián coach believes the Brazilian is the differential piece of imbalance that his project needs to consolidate its dominance in England.

Meanwhile, Manchester United is closely monitoring the player’s situation to integrate him into their new attacking structure alongside figures like Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Bruno Fernandes, providing Old Trafford with a world-class attack. With a market valuation set at 130 million euros on Transfermarkt, the white management will demand a financial proposal commensurate with his status if they ultimately authorize his transfer.

The player’s agents will hold regular meetings with representatives from the Premier League over the next few weeks to define the margins of a potential formal offer. If over the course of next month Vinícius Júnior does not reverse his bench status at Real Madrid, the white club will negotiate his exit with Arsenal or Manchester United at the beginning of 2027.
