Arsenal are preparing a €150 million offer for Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr as Mikel Arteta moves to bring the Brazil star to the Premier League champions this summer.
According to Spanish newspaper AS, Arteta has spoken directly with the 26-year-old. He outlined his vision for Arsenal and assured Vinicius he would be the focal point of the club’s long-term project at the Emirates.
The Gunners are ready to table the bid to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season. Vinicius returned to Real Madrid for pre-season training on Monday, undergoing routine medical assessments before rejoining his teammates.
