Liverpool has made a decision regarding Vinicius following rumors linking him to Arsenal.
Following a major report by The Athletic, Arsenal, the recent English Premier League champions, have been approved to pursue Vinicius Junior, the Brazilian winger from Real Madrid, during this summer transfer window to join Emirates Stadium.
The 26-year-old player has only 12 months left on his contract with Real Madrid and has not yet agreed to new terms, forcing the La Liga giants to decide whether to sell him now or risk losing him for free in a year.
In fact, Real Madrid likely wants to avoid this situation since Vinicius is recognized as one of the best players in the world.
According to the latest report from talkSPORT, Liverpool was contacted about the possibility of signing Vinicius Junior this summer, but the Reds chose not to pursue any action or serious negotiations, instead focusing on strengthening their right-wing attack to replace Mohamed Salah, who has bid farewell to the club.
This effectively opens the way for Arsenal to fully advance their pursuit of Vinicius without major competitors. It remains to be seen whether a major deal will materialize in this transfer window.
Vinicius Junior scored 22 goals and provided 14 assists for Real Madrid last season. He is currently resting after Brazil was eliminated from the 2026 World Cup, losing to Norway in the round of 16. In that tournament, Vinicius contributed 4 goals and 1 assist.
