Arsenal are dreaming of completing a sensational move in the transfer market. According to The Telegraph, the Gunners are prepared to make Vinícius Jr the highest-paid player in their history in an attempt to convince him to leave Real Madrid.
Could Vinícius leave Real Madrid this summer? Yan Diomandé is set to arrive at the club for a record fee. Real are believed to have beaten PSG to the player and are reportedly close to reaching an agreement with RB Leipzig for more than €100 million.
Arsenal Prepare a Historic Contract for Vinícius
Could Diomandé be viewed as Vinícius’ replacement? The two players do not operate in exactly the same position, but the signing raises questions about Real Madrid’s attacking plans. With Kylian Mbappé on the left, a centre-forward through the middle and Diomandé on the right, Vinícius could potentially find his role under threat.

Arsenal are ready to take advantage of the situation. The London club would reportedly be willing to exceed the Brazilian international’s current salary, estimated at £400,000 per week, or around €470,000 weekly and nearly €24.5 million per year. Such a deal would place Vinícius comfortably at the top of Arsenal’s wage structure.
The move comes as contract extension talks between Real Madrid and Vinícius remain difficult. However, the player’s priority is still believed to be staying in Madrid and discussing his future with the club’s hierarchy. No official contact has yet taken place between Arsenal and Real Madrid, but the Gunners are seriously exploring the possibility, aware that the transfer would require both a huge fee and a historic salary package.
