Earlier, several British media outlets reported that Arsenal were considering signing Vinicius, and according to Mundo Deportivo, if they sign Vinicius, Arsenal's chances of signing Alvarez would decrease.

Vinicius's name is reportedly on Arsenal's transfer list. Previously, his contract extension talks with Real Madrid had been deadlocked for a long time, and although there was contact between the two parties, a final agreement was never reached.

In addition, Real Madrid also made an offer for 19-year-old Ivorian winger Yann-Diomande. These factors provide context for Arsenal's interest in Vinicius, and another factor is at play: Yann-Diomande and Vinicius are represented by the same agency.

Currently, no negotiations have taken place between the clubs, but if Vinicius's contract extension does not materialize soon, then for Real Madrid, the wisest course of action would be to use the remaining time in the transfer window to sell the 26-year-old Brazilian international for a high price.

If Arsenal's interest develops further and they eventually make a formal offer to Real Madrid, then their chances of pursuing Alvarez would decrease. Atletico Madrid hopes to keep him, and Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are still eager to sign the Argentine forward.
