According to Sky Sports, Vinicius held contract extension talks with Real Madrid management and is still expected to stay with the team after the negotiations.

Vinicius held contract talks with Real Madrid management today, local time. Sky Sports News understands that after these talks, Vinicius is still expected to remain at Real Madrid.

Although Arsenal has been eyeing this star forward, and the player has entered the final year of his contract with Real Madrid, it appears that the Galacticos do not intend to easily let go of their offensive core. The difficulty for the Gunners to move forward with this transfer this summer is continuously increasing.

However, there still seems to be disagreement among various media outlets regarding the direction of this deal. Another Spanish media outlet, AS, has presented a completely different account, claiming that the Arsenal dressing room has widely accepted the reality that Vinicius is about to join. According to reports, the Gunners' players have begun inquiring about the situation with the club, and sporting director Berta has also conveyed to the team the intention to actively push for the completion of this deal. Furthermore, AS also revealed that head coach Arteta has even personally communicated with Vinicius about his tactical role at Arsenal.

Despite Arsenal's fierce offensive, the Brazilian international himself has yet to make a final decision on whether to leave Real Madrid. Considering that Vinicius' contract with Real Madrid has only one year left, this summer is destined to be a critical juncture regarding his future.
