Arsenal are still hoping a deal for Julian Alvarez could be possible; however, should the Gunners fail to sign him, Vinicius Jr must become the next target.
Andrea Berta is keen to sign another winger this summer, and a left-sided player appears to be one of the priorities for the Gunners.
💰 How much cash plus Viktor Gyokeres should Arsenal demand for Julian Alvarez?
👀 Atletico Madrid want £52m + Gyokeres…
Morgan Rogers is the leading target at Arsenal right now, but the North London club should be looking to test the waters for the Brazilian.
The Premier League champions are in such a strong position this summer, and given Vinicius’ circumstances at Madrid, a deal does not seem impossible.
Real Madrid will consider selling Vinicius Jr if no agreement is reached over a new contract
Real Madrid will consider selling Vinicius Jr if no agreement is reached over a new contract after the World Cup, according to Diario AS.
The 24-year-old has just two years remaining on his deal, and Los Blancos will soon need to make a final decision over his future.
Madrid cannot afford for such a player to run down his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu, nor will they be forced into losing him for free.
But Madrid have so much money tied in with Vinicius being at the club, and therefore it is well within their interests to keep him.
🤔 PICK ONE: Would you rather Arsenal signed Bradley Barcola or Morgan Rogers this summer?
Talks over a new deal will resume after the World Cup is done, and Madrid will then make their plans to decide their next steps.
Arsenal should consider Vinicius Jr move
Having just become Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years, the Gunners find themselves in such a strong position this summer.
Arsenal can sell a very exciting project under Mikel Arteta to their targets, and they should not see Vinicius as out of their reach.
The Brazilian is arguably the best left winger in the world, and given they are keen to land a player in that role, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t at least test their luck.
Transfermarkt claim the 25-year-old is valued at £121 million right now, which is a very similar fee to what Alvarez would cost.
Alvarez is open to joining Arsenal; however, his dream is Barcelona, and the Gunners could find it tricky to get him.
Therefore, if they are unable to land their statement by signing the Argentine attacker, Vinicius could become the ultimate market opportunity this summer.
