Vinícius Júnior turns down Arsenal, wants to stay at Real Madrid

Vinícius Júnior has no intention of leaving Real Madrid and wants to agree on an extension to his current contract. The Brazilian forward has been linked with Arsenal, with reports suggesting personal terms were all but agreed. According to the latest information, though, the player himself is focused on continuing at the Santiago Bernabéu. Arsenal are monitoring the situation, but there are no active talks between the clubs. Real Madrid are not willing to let one of their key attackers leave for free. If the two sides cannot reach an agreement on a new deal, the club would be open to selling Vinícius this summer instead of risking his departure without a transfer fee. The winger is expected back with Real Madrid in the coming days, after which talks over his future are likely to intensify. His current contract remains one of the biggest storylines of Madrid's summer transfer window.
