Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior, according to David Ornstein. The North London club's interest is said to be in its early stages, but the concept of pursuing the Brazilian winger has received approval across all levels at Arsenal.

While Arsenal's internal discussions are understood to be positive, formal negotiations with Real Madrid have not yet commenced. The potential transfer's viability largely depends on Vinicius Junior's ongoing contract situation at Real Madrid, where a breakthrough in negotiations has not yet been achieved.

Real Madrid are reportedly keen to avoid a situation where the talented attacker could leave the club on a free transfer. This contractual uncertainty could present an opportunity for Arsenal to make a significant move in the transfer market for the winger, should they decide to escalate their interest.
