Real Madrid is reportedly open to allowing Vinícius Júnior to leave the club if a new contract agreement cannot be reached, with no plans to increase their current offer. The Brazilian winger has one year remaining on his deal and returns for preseason training amid persistent doubts about his future.

Sources indicate the decision now rests with Vinícius, who must choose between signing a new contract or pursuing a move elsewhere. While Arsenal is believed to be in a strong position should he opt to leave, a source close to the player denies any contact with the Premier League club. Arsenal has reportedly been studying the feasibility of a deal.

Vinícius, who joined Madrid in 2018 and has become a key player, has been in a contract standoff with the club. His unhappiness last season under former coach Xabi Alonso and the team's lack of major trophies have fueled speculation. Madrid has been active in the transfer market, with new signings Carlos Espí and potentially Yan Diomande and Rodri.

Madrid's preseason includes a friendly against Fiorentina. Summer signings Denzel Dumfries and Espí are part of the squad.
