Arteta does not rule out Arsenal's interest in Vinicius JR

Real Madrid C.F.

The name of Vinicius is stirring up the market again in England. The British press has placed the Arsenal on alert over the situation of the Brazilian, especially if his contract renewal with Real Madrid does not get resolved, and Arteta had the option to cool things down. He did not.

Asked about the prospect of signing the Madrid forward, the Gunners boss left a broad message about the club's planning. "We are very active in the transfer market, trying to improve and make the team evolve. That is clear. We expect moves in the coming weeks, obviously, because we want to improve like any other. And you only have to look at the transfer market and our rivals", he explained to the media.

The response came at a particularly sensitive moment, just before Vini's return to Valdebebas. The Brazilian is scheduled this Monday to return to work with Real Madrid, while reports coming from England keep the alleged interest of Arsenal alive.

Arteta reiterated that idea without getting into the specific case. "We are not going to stand still with our arms crossed and we are very ambitious about what we want to achieve", he said when the question once again turned to Vinicius and the transfer market.

Earlier, the coach had also received a more direct question about when the Brazilian would be announced. Laughing, he replied only with an "many thanks", a line that did not reduce the noise around the deal.

The words of Arsenal's manager fuel the reports published in recent days in England, where it is suggested that the London club would be keeping an eye on Vinicius's future if he does not extend his contract with Real Madrid. The week that begins may mark a new step in a case that remains open.
