The sources reported that Arsenal had drawn up an ambitious and comprehensive plan to include the Brazilian star, and the project received the interest and admiration of Vinicius and the approval of the London club’s management and its coach, Mikel Arteta. However, the player’s representatives sent an official letter in which they expressed their gratitude for Arsenal’s professionalism, explaining that the decision to reject the offer was not due to a lack of conviction in the sporting project, but rather due to the great emotional attachment to Real Madrid and the exceptional financial effort made by the Royal Club to convince him to stay.
Real Madrid reached a final agreement with the player in a decisive meeting in Spain, which included granting Vinicius an annual salary exceeding 22 million euros, thus ending one of the most prominent and most recent negotiations in the summer Mercato.
