Real Madrid set price tag for Vinicius sale

Real Madrid have set an asking price of £135 million to sell Vinicius Junior amid interest from Premier League champions Arsenal.

The Gunners have identified Vinicius as a surprise target to bolster the left wing, and they are prepared to break the bank for his services.

The Brazilian has entered the last year of his deal at Madrid and reports claim that he has yet to commit to a new long-term contract due to wage differences.

With the significant salary gap between the player and Madrid, president Florentino Perez has opened the door to selling him for around £135m.

Arsenal believe they have the financial capacity to pay a British record transfer fee and match the wage requirements of the Flamengo graduate.

They are prepared to pay Vinicius in excess of £400,000 per week and could also hand him 100 percent image rights to benefit financially.

No contact has been established with the player or Madrid thus far.
