Arsenal are exploring a potential move for Vinicius Junior, but will only pursue the Real Madrid forward if he indicates he is open to leaving the Spanish giants.
The Gunners are reportedly monitoring the Brazilian’s uncertain situation at Madrid, with the club viewing him as one of the few players capable of immediately transforming Mikel Arteta’s attack.
Despite their interest, Arsenal are not expected to submit a formal offer unless Vinicius makes it clear he would consider a move to the Premier League.
The club are also seeking assurances that the 26-year-old is fully committed to joining before entering what would likely be expensive negotiations with Real Madrid.
Until then, Arsenal are expected to keep alternative attacking targets under consideration while continuing to monitor developments surrounding Vinicius’ future.
