da cassino online: It is being reported that Arsenal contacted Real Madrid in regards to Vinicius Junior during the summer transfer window. Whilst he could have been a good winger opposite Nicolas Pepe, the price he would command does not make it a wide investment.
What’s the story?
The 19-year-old signed for Madrid in 2017 for a fee of £40.5m, although he only joined up with the squad in 2018.
He made 36 appearances in all competitions for Los Merengues last term, piquing the interest of Arsenal and PSG in the summer, according to UOL Sport. However, both approaches were immediately blocked by the La Liga side.

Pepe over Vinicius
The teenager is undoubtedly a player who possesses a lot of talent and would bring a huge amount of quality to any side, including Arsenal.
He would have fitted in nicely to Unai Emery’s 4-2-3-1 formation, which the former Sevilla boss has used in three of the first four Premier League games of the campaign. Especially opposite Nicolas Pepe on the other side of the pitch, the left-winger would have been able to offer good attacking balance.
However, from a financial point of view, the move would have been impossible. The Gunners were said to have a budget of just £45m and, although that may have been a little of the mark as they were able to sign Pepe from Lille for £72m, the lack of Champions League football had them restricted financially.
As such, it would have been unwise to bring Vinicius in. He may have plenty of potential, but he is far from the finished product. He is not yet a regular starter at Real Madrid and, considering the amount he cost the Madrid-based side just two years ago, they would no doubt demand a higher fee than the £63m he is currently valued at. Until they are once again back in the top four, Arsenal need to be careful not to spend beyond their means.
Vinicius may become one of the stars of world football in the future, but for now, it is not a risk the Gunners can afford to take. Keeping their heads in the transfer market is still essential.
