Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior is attracting interest from the Premier League\u2019s biggest clubs.<\/p>\n
Earlier today, The Athletic reported that Arsenal are exploring a move to sign\u00a0Vinicius if he does not extend his contract in the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n
However, the North London outfit are yet to open club-to-club talks. They may have to act more decisively to seal this blockbuster transfer, as Manchester United are also reportedly in the race.<\/p>\n

According to TEAMtalk,\u00a0Vinicius Junior\u2019s representatives have made fresh contact with a number of the Brazilian\u2019s Premier League suitors to indicate that a move could become a realistic possibility this summer.<\/p>\n
It is understood that Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City are showing the strongest intent to land the Brazilian winger. However, Manchester United and Chelsea are also monitoring developments.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old has entered the final year of his contract at the Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos have reportedly made it clear they will not meet Vinicius\u2018 demands and match the salary of their highest earner, Kylian Mbappe, who earns around \u20ac60 million per year.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the Brazil international has been handed a clear ultimatum: either agree fresh terms or the club will consider a sale this summer.<\/p>\n
With club president Florentino Perez unwilling to budge, the player\u2019s camp has begun \u201cengaging with the small number of clubs worldwide capable of financing a move for one of football\u2019s biggest stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, The Peoples Person relayed a report from French journalist Romain Molina claiming\u00a0most clubs cannot afford to sign Vinicius this summer.<\/p>\n
Molina suggested that United are the only club capable of financially pulling off a move for the Real Madrid superstar.<\/p>\n
