Real Madrid have reportedly informed Vinicius Junior that their latest contract offer is their final offer to him amid interest from Arsenal.
The Brazil international has just a year left on his current deal at the Bernabeu, so Real will no doubt want to resolve his future quickly to avoid the risk of losing him on a free transfer next summer.
According to reports, Los Blancos have made it clear to Vini Jr that this is their final contract offer to him, so he has to take it or leave it, and that could mean he's sold.
The uncertainty surrounding Vinicius' future at Real Madrid has sparked interest from Arsenal, who are believed to be confident in their ability to sign the talented winger.
Arsenal have been eyeing this operation, having held a series of talks, and they believe they're in a very good position if Real Madrid doesn't manage to renew Vinicius' contract.
Arsenal's interest in Vinicius is driven by a desire to strengthen their left flank this summer after the departure of Leandro Trossard, and they also need an upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli.
Should Arsenal decide to pursue Vinicius, they will undoubtedly be aware of the potential financial implications, including the risk of disrupting the harmony in the dressing room with his wages.
The Gunners' highest earners, currently led by Bukayo Saka with an annual salary of £15.6m, will be a point of consideration for the club as they weigh up the potential cost of signing Vinicius.
Ultimately, the decision to make a move for Vinicius will depend on whether the player is willing to take a new challenge with Arsenal, or if he prefers to continue at Madrid for the bulk of his career.
