Real Madrid have moved closer to securing the future of Vinicius Junior after tabling an improved contract offer to the Brazilian forward, a development that is expected to end Arsenal’s pursuit of the winger. The revised proposal follows fresh negotiations between Vinicius’ representatives and Real Madrid general director Jose Angel Sanchez alongside chief scout Juni Calafat in Madrid on Wednesday. However, sources familiar with the discussions said Real Madrid have now significantly improved their offer to reflect Vinicius’ status as one of the club’s most important players. Real Madrid have also strengthened significantly ahead of the new campaign following the return of Jose Mourinho as head coach.
