Vinicius Junior put pen to paper on a six-year contract with Real Madrid last week (Picture: Reuters) Vinicius Junior’s team reportedly reached out to Arsenal to explain why the forward had decided to stay on at Real Madrid last week, even thanking the Gunners for the treatment they had received during their back-and-forth. Eyebrows were raised as the 26-year-old attacker emerged as a surprise target for Arsenal this summer, with talks over a contract extension previously breaking down after two separate pushes by Madrid. Mikel Arteta was believed to be ‘absolutely smitten’ with the idea of coaxing Vinicius to north London and Arsenal bosses had been prepared to make the 2024 Ballon d’Or runner-up the highest-paid player in Premier League history. But a major breakthrough in negotiations between Madrid and Vinicius a week ago convinced the Brazilian to stay put and commit his future to Los Blancos, bringing Arsenal’s pursuit to an abrupt halt.

It was subsequently announced that Vinicius Junior had put pen to paper on a six-year contract at Madrid, tying him to the La Liga giants until June 2032. According to The Athletic, Vinicius had been ‘genuinely attracted’ by Arsenal’s proposal, a move that had been approved at all levels within the Premier League champions’ hierarchy. It’s claimed the ambitious offer was made to Vinicius’ camp after ‘months of behind-the-scenes work’ and ‘high-level’ dialogue between head coach Arteta and key decision makers at Arsenal.

Just hours later, the superstar winger had wiped his Instagram page in preparation for a new chapter at the Bernabeu and official confirmation of his renewal followed soon after. The report states that Arsenal first began to get serious about Vinicius over the winter, ‘speaking at length’ with the Brazil international and his entourage to outline the project he would be spearheading under Arteta. Continued ‘frosty’ relations between Vinicius and Madrid gave Arsenal increasing confidence that a deal had been possible – and the Gunners were optimistic of pulling off a sensational coup right up until last week. Vinicius was desperate to get his future resolved after returning from the World Cup (Picture: Getty) Vinicius’ inner circle are said to have confirmed the player’s contract agreement to Arsenal last Wednesday, with the forward’s representatives expressing their gratitude for how the north London giants had handled themselves during their pursuit. The report adds that Vinicius’ camp stressed that the decision was reached due to Vinicius ‘affection’ for Madrid and the significant ‘financial effort’ that had been made to keep him in the Spaniard capital. While there was understandable ‘disappointment’ at the Emirates, Arsenal bosses were also ‘accepting’ of Vinicius’ decision, aware that such a move was always going to come with the strong possibility of failure. The Athletic claim that many at Arsenal saw it as an indicator of progression that they had even been in with a shot of capturing one of the most high-profile players in the world game. Forced to consider alternatives, Arsenal have been tentatively linked with Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola and Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz in recent days. The Gunners moved to replace Leandro Trossard with the addition of Club Brugge’s Christos Tzolis in the left wing last month, while Illan Meslier has been signed on a free transfer as back-up to David Raya. Piero Hincapie remains Arsenal’s only other first-team recruit of the summer, with the reigning English champions activating their £35m
It's that time of the year again - the transfer window is now open until September 1 and it's sure to be a busy period with clubs looking to make big signings ahead of next season.
Mikel Arteta wants Arsenal to pursue the Barcelona star (Picture: Getty) Barcelona have opened the door to Arsenal signing Jules Kounde after Mikel Arteta sanctioned a move for the defender, according to reports in Spain. Arteta is keen to welcome a new centre-back to the Emirates Stadium after William Saliba injured his back during France’s World Cup campaign. The Premier League champions have been vague about the severity of Saliba’s setback but said he would be out for an ‘extended period’ in a statement last month. Arsenal were linked with Aston Villa and England’s Ezri Konsa even before Saliba’s injury blow and have stepped up their interest following the World Cup. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. But Villa value the 28-year-old at £60m and Arsenal have so far indicated they are only willing to pay around £40m. As a result Arsenal are looking at alternative targets and made an approach for Barcelona defender Kounde. Kounde has spent four seasons at the Nou Camp after snubbing interest from the Premier League, most notably from Chelsea, to join Barcelona in 2022. Barcelona and France star Jules Kounde (Picture: Getty) The 27-year-old was also part of France’s World Cup squad and started the semi-final defeat to eventual winners Spain at right-back, showing the versatility which has made him such an interesting proposition for Arsenal. Spanish outlet SPORT report that Kounde could be sold by Barcelona this summer and say Arsenal have made an approach to the La Liga giants. It is claimed Arteta would ‘approve’ of Kounde’s arrival in north London but must convince Kounde to leave Barcelona, where he is settled despite losing his place in the team last season. William Saliba suffered an injury at the World Cup (Picture: Reuters) Barcelona, though, are open to selling Kounde as they look to revamp their defence and raise funds following a big-spending summer. Barca are still hoping to complete a huge deal for Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and are in talks with Manchester City to sign Rodri. SPORT say that Bayern Munich have also expressed interest in Kounde, who cost Barcelona 50m euros four years ago. England star and Arsenal target Ezri Konsa (Picture: PA) Arteta wants Arsenal to retain their Premier League trophy this season but will be without Saliba for at least the start of the campaign. ‘William Saliba has returned to us from World Cup duty, where he played an integral role in France reaching the semi-finals of the competition,’ the Gunners said in a statement. ‘Subsequent specialist reviews on William’s return to London this week have confirmed that he has suffered a back injury which will require a period of rehabilitation. ‘Extensive assessments have concluded that surgery is not recommended, but William should now commence a managed recovery programme. ‘William’s rehabilitation will commence immediately, with continual management of his injury, and he is expected to be out of action for an extended period. ‘Everyone is fully focused on supporting William to ensure he is back to full fitness as soon as possible.’ Arsenal, who begin their title defence against newly-promoted Coventry City, are also sweating over Jurrien Timber’s fitness ahead of the new season.
