Real Madrid improves offer to Vinicius Jr

As we reported recently, Real Madrid has stepped up its pursuit of Vinicius Jr by presenting an improved offer to the Brazilian, according to BBC Sport. The winger, who enters the final year of his current contract, is receptive to the new terms after months of talks at a standstill.

The Spanish side expects a response from the player within hours rather than days. The return of José Mourinho as head coach has lifted spirits at the club, with management now confident that Vinicius will accept the renewal. The player, with 375 matches and 128 goals for Madrid, seeks recognition as the club's financial star, though the club maintains its traditional strict stance on salary structure under Florentino Pérez.

Pressure is mounting: Arsenal is waiting in the wings and willing to accelerate their interest if the Brazilian rejects the proposal. Vinicius, who has called Madrid «the club of my dreams» and expressed his desire to stay «for many years», holds the cards in these decisive hours.
