Real Madrid have now told the player’s representatives that their most recent renewal offer is final and will not be improved.
Real Madrid have reportedly delivered a decisive ultimatum to Arsenal target Vinícius Jr, informing the Brazilian that he must either accept the club’s latest contract proposal or face the possibility of being sold this summer.
According to MARCA, Real Madrid have now told the player’s representatives that their most recent renewal offer is final and will not be improved.
After months of negotiations and little progress, the Spanish giants have decided they will no longer continue discussions under revised terms.
The club’s position is understood to be straightforward.
If Vinícius accepts the offer, he will sign a new long-term contract and remain one of the cornerstones of Real Madrid’s project.
If he rejects it, Madrid are prepared to listen to offers during the current transfer window rather than risk allowing him to enter the final year of his contract and potentially leave for free in the future.
The report adds that Arsenal’s interest in the Brazilian has only strengthened Real Madrid’s determination to resolve the situation quickly.
The Gunners have been heavily linked with Vinícius in recent weeks, with reports suggesting they have already explored the financial requirements of a potential deal and would be prepared to make a serious offer should he become available.
Despite the firm stance, Real Madrid still consider Vinícius one of the most important players in the squad.
Club officials believe his performances over recent seasons deserve a significant salary increase, but they remain unwilling to break their established wage structure for any individual player.
That principle has become the key sticking point in negotiations.
Real Madrid are determined to protect the balance within the dressing room and have reportedly made it clear they will not create a separate financial category, regardless of Vinícius’ status.
The report also claims that, if the contract dispute continues, Vinícius could face increased competition for his place following the expected arrival of Sporting CP winger Ousmane Diomandé, who is capable of operating across the forward line.
While Real Madrid’s priority remains reaching an agreement, their message is now unmistakable.
There will be no improved offer and no endless negotiations.
For Arsenal, the latest development represents another significant twist in one of the summer’s biggest transfer sagas.
Should Vinícius refuse Real Madrid’s final proposal, the Spanish giants are reportedly prepared to sanction a sale, potentially opening the door for the Gunners to make what would be one of the most ambitious signings in the club’s history.
