Arsenal are reportedly prepared to make Vinícius Júnior the highest-paid player in the club's history as they step up plans to sign the Real Madrid forward this summer.
According to The Telegraph, the Premier League champions are willing to improve on Vinícius' current £400,000-per-week salary at Real Madrid, with finances not expected to be an obstacle if negotiations progress.
The Brazilian has entered the final 12 months of his contract at the Santiago Bernabéu, although new Real Madrid head coach José Mourinho is determined to keep the 26-year-old as a key part of his squad.
Arsenal have yet to open formal talks with Real Madrid, but manager Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen his attacking options after last season's UEFA Champions League final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
The report also claims Real Madrid are close to signing Yan Diomandé from RB Leipzig in a deal worth more than £100 million, with the Ivorian winger expected to join the club alongside Bernardo Silva, Ibrahima Konaté, and Denzel Dumfries.
