Arsenal is reportedly preparing a "mammoth" offer to sign Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior, potentially making him the highest-paid player in the club's history. While official negotiations with Real Madrid have not begun, Arsenal has approached the player's representatives with a proposal that could significantly surpass his current earnings of approximately 24 million euros per year.
The Brazilian winger is in the final year of his contract with Real Madrid. Arsenal's offer aims to entice him to move to London, with reports suggesting it could reach ยฃ400,000 per week. If the transfer materializes, Vinicius Junior would out-earn Bukayo Saka, who currently receives around 22 million euros annually after his contract renewal.
However, Real Madrid is not expected to let their key player leave easily. Coach Jose Mourinho has expressed his desire for Vinicius Junior to remain at the club, and club president Florentino Perez is likely to demand a high transfer fee, with reports indicating a potential sale price of up to 160 million euros.
