Arsenal have reportedly reached an agreement in principle on personal terms with Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr., according to a post by club insider HandofArsenal on X on Friday evening.
The 26-year-old Brazilian international has become a key transfer target for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, with his current contract in Spain entering its final 12 months.
Real Madrid remains hopeful of securing a long-term extension, but Arsenal sees this as a major market opportunity to strengthen their attacking options.
The reported agreement marks a significant step for the North London club. Representatives from Roc Nation are expected to approach Real Madrid with a substantial financial offer.
HandofArsenal stated: "Arsenal Football Club have personal terms agreed in principle with Vinicius Junior.
Roc Nation will go armed into negotiations with Real Madrid with a monstrous offer from the English Champions…….
over to you Vinicius Junior."
Speculation about a potential move to the Emirates Stadium has grown over the past week, despite efforts to downplay the likelihood of a deal.
