With Real Madrid renewing contract talks and Arsenal showing interest, there may be no more intriguing transfer situation right now than Vinicius Jr's future.

There may be no more intriguing situation in the transfer landscape right now than Vinicius Jr's future. The Real Madrid forward is unquestionably one of the most high-profile footballers on the planet. The Brazil international joined Real as an 18-year-old in 2018, winning 14 trophies and scoring 128 goals in 375 matches for the Spanish giants. To think they have allowed him to enter the final year of his contract is perplexing - but that is where we are. In normal circumstances, according to industry sources, Vinicius' market value would exceed £200m. On the pitch, that amount of money would get you a world class left-winger who is also adept at playing centrally, as well as a player who, aged 26, is reaching his peak years. Off the pitch, you would be signing a global icon whose commercial value would be financially lucrative. Real Madrid have tried to renew their attacker's contract and opened further talks with him on Monday - but, as of yet, to no avail.
