The final decision of Vinícius and Real Madrid tests their loyalty
A high-profile party marked the end of Vinicius Júnior’s vacation, who is expected in Valdebebas (he landed yesterday at Barajas) with open arms after a disappointing World Cup both personally and collectively. Right now, he is the footballer who attracts all the attention due to a renewal that has been delayed over time amid false promises that “everything was going to be fixed”; although, for the moment, with only 11 months left on his contract and becoming a free agent, he remains in limbo. Arsenal is lurking, and from England, they indicate that the option is increasingly solid. On Saturday, Mikel Arteta was asked after the 1-4 against Girona, and his response added more fuel to the fire. “We are very active, trying to improve and evolve the team. We are not going to stand idly by and we are very ambitious about what we want to achieve, we already see our rivals,” he commented. When directly questioned about the Brazilian, he grimaced half-jokingly and left quickly.
