Arsenal and Paris Saint Germain have both made approaches for the signing of Vinícius Júnior from Real Madrid this summer, according to reports from Brazil.
Website UOL brings a story about the player today, saying he’s been struggling at the La Liga side since he’s been used on the right wing and is afraid of losing his spot in the team.
It’s claimed Real Madrid feel like it’s time to back him, and president Florentino Pérez has spoken to the attacker, trying to give him more confidence. They understand he’s young and will have ups and downs.
That’s why they didn’t have talks for his departure. UOL says PSG contacted Real Madrid via Leonardo, while Arsenal did the same via Edu Gaspar. Both approaches were rejected.
Last month, Sport Witness had a story revealing that Edu Gaspar had rushed for the signings of several Brazilians once he arrived at the Gunners. That’s one more name to the list.
