Arsenal reportedly came very close to landing Vinícius Júnior from Real Madrid during the summer transfer window.
The situation had apparently advanced so far that some of Vinícius’ Real Madrid teammates believed the Brazilian forward was almost certain to leave the club and move to Arsenal.
However, the blockbuster transfer eventually collapsed, leaving Madrid players reportedly surprised when Vinícius chose to remain at the Bernabéu and sign a new long-term contract with Real Madrid.
The revelation suggests Arsenal’s pursuit of the Brazil star was far more serious than many supporters realised. 👀
🇧🇷 Vinícius to Arsenal nearly became reality… but the deal never happened.
