'For sure…' – Fabrizio Romano responds to major Liverpool & Arsenal transfer story

Vinicius Junior to stay at Real Madrid?

It looks like it will be tricky for the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal to sign Vinicius, as you’d expect.

This is a world class talent who’ll surely be in the frame for the Ballon d’Or again in his career, and that’s not the kind of player Real tend to let go.

The Spanish giants have a lot of other elite attacking players in their squad, but there’s surely still room for Vinicius to have an important role.

Vinicius Junior would be an exciting addition to the Premier League

Still, it would certainly be exciting to see Vinicius playing in England at some point, and he’d surely have plenty to offer to the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal.

The Gunners had a busy summer strengthening their attack, but could perhaps do well to bring in an upgrade on Gabriel Martinelli at some point, whilst moving Eberechi Eze into a central role in the long term.

Liverpool, meanwhile, also invested a lot in new attackers, but would surely feel there’s value in pursuing someone like Vinicius as an upgrade on Cody Gakpo, while Florian Wirtz also hasn’t made the best start to life at Anfield.
