Vinícius has rejected a renewal proposal from Real Madrid of 22 million euros annually until June 2031 in this summer transfer market, as reported by El Larguero. The Vinicius saga continues to heat up.

Both parties will meet on Wednesday, August 5th, to discuss the future of the Brazilian. His salary demand of 30 million euros per season has led influential figures in the board to support his sale during this transfer window.

The wage gap at Real Madrid and José Mourinho's support

According to El Larguero, the €8 million difference between Real Madrid's offer of 22 million and the attacker's request of 30 million has halted the negotiations. Despite this institutional scenario, José Mourinho personally assured the 26-year-old player of his place for the 2026/2027 season, maintaining a good relationship during the early preseason training sessions.

Within the Chamartín board, some favor authorizing the Brazilian's transfer before risking him entering the final year of his contract expiring in June 2027. The lack of an economic agreement accelerates the timeline for a summer sale if the winger does not compromise on his salary demands during Wednesday's meeting.

Arsenal's interest under Mikel Arteta in Vinícius' situation

Arsenal has not finalized any formal agreement with the player but has expressed interest in making him a key offensive player under Mikel Arteta. Although the Spanish coach has not directly spoken to the Brazilian international yet, the player is aware of the English club's intention to meet his financial demands.

The London club is monitoring the discussions at Valdebebas to decide whether to make a formal transfer offer. Assuming the role of the main figure in Arteta's system presents a concrete option if the player chooses to end his time in Spain.

Representatives of Real Madrid and the Brazilian player will meet on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026, to determine whether renegotiations resume or if the club officially lists him as transferable. If the final break is confirmed at the meeting, Arsenal will begin formal discussions with Real Madrid's board to negotiate the transfer fee before the start of official competitions.
