Beijing time (CEST), August 5 – DO stated in podcast TA that Real Madrid's current meeting will determine Vinicius's future. Arsenal has been preparing to sign Vinicius for a long time and is very confident about it.

Question: Let's talk about the potential arrival of Vinicius Júnior from Real Madrid. Clearly, this is a major signing with tremendous potential. What's the latest news?

DO: The situation is still developing. There's a meeting happening right now, as we speak. In Madrid, they're deciding Vinicius Júnior's future. Will he renew his contract with Real Madrid? Well, both sides have been negotiating for 18 months, but there's been no progress. Now everyone knows Real Madrid's offer is around 22 million euros annually. He wants a salary closer to 30 million euros – I believe it's 28 million euros. The two sides haven't been able to reach an agreement. Will a deal be struck now? Let's wait and see. If it ultimately doesn't work out, he now has two very clear options.

Arsenal is currently the main interested party. They're doing everything they can to sign him – they've pulled out all the stops. Of course, the other option is, if both sides can't reach an agreement and the transfer isn't approved, he will stay to complete the final year of his contract and leave as a free agent in summer 2027. Based on all the previous conversations Arsenal has had and the work they've put in, I believe everyone at the club is optimistic about the transfer prospects. From the very top to the very top, all levels of management support this. Arteta has played a crucial role in pushing this forward. Senior club management is very enthusiastic about the deal. They've clearly calculated the financial costs and are prepared to make a move that would be hugely significant for the club, for the Premier League, for Europe, and even for world football.

Now, everything depends on the player himself. What does he want to do? I think there's a feeling at Arsenal that if he doesn't stay at Real Madrid, he wants to come to Arsenal – that's the thinking in North London. But clearly, this is just speculation, and many variables can change during negotiations. You know, when we published this news, the reaction was very strong, but I think Arsenal is quite comfortable with this because they've been planning this for a long time, much longer than what's been made public, even if ultimately they don't sign him (which, of course, isn't impossible). But the fact that they have a chance to sign a player of his caliber and stature – both in terms of on-field performance and commercial value – shows how much progress they've made. They're now at the top, with the strength to compete for the title, which was previously unthinkable.
