It is now confirmed, Vinícius Júnior is not going anywhere, and certainly not to Arsenal, as he has agreed to a new six‑year contract with Real Madrid.
Softfootball understands the verbal agreement is in its final stages, with only minor details left to be discussed before the club gives the green light to proceed with the long‑term deal.
Sources also indicate that José Mourinho has been pushing strongly for Vini to stay, reinforcing the club’s desire to keep the Brazilian as a central figure in Madrid’s future.
This clarity comes after Vini, on Friday 5 August 2026, removed all images from his Instagram handle, a move that caused confusion and speculation among fans. Despite the social‑media noise, the situation behind the scenes has remained positive for Real Madrid.
