Real Madrid have told Vinicius Jr that if he doesn't sign a new contract by next summer they will sell him, with Arsenal among the Premier League clubs circling for the Brazilian.
TBR Football reports that contract renewal talks to extend Vinicius' deal that expires in 2027 are not going well.

Vini was closer to extending before the Club World Cup but now there is an impasse with Madrid not prepared to meet the player's €30 million a year demands.
Madrid are prepared to give him around €20m per year and have given him a deadline of signing the contract by the end of the season.
Vini Jr to leave?
If he doesn't extend by then, Madrid will sell Vini Jr as he will only have one year left on his contract.
The chances of leaving are increased by some concerns on Vini's side that he is not considering an indispensable player by manager Xabi Alonso.
He has started four of the club's six games this season and if often taken off in matches.
The report adds that Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Liverpool have all been alerted to Vini's possible availability and his openness to moving to the Premier League, which is seen as the likeliest destination if he does leave.
Vinicius Jr has also been a key target for the Saudi Pro League over the past year or so, with multiple reports that there is a very real possibility he could move to Saudi Arabia.
The CEO of the Saudi Pro League is certain that Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr will move to Saudi Arabia very soon.
“We do not dream of Vinicius because it is not a question of dream, but a question of time, and of negotiation," he said.
"Some of our clubs have what it takes to attract a talent like him. We'll see what happens."
There have been multiple reports that Vinicius Jr has a world record offer on the table from Saudi Arabia.
Relevo report that the Real Madrid superstar has a €1 BILLION contract offer from Saudi Arabia.
This would see the Brazilian earn €200m per year over five seasons.
The offer is 20 times higher than what he currently earns at Real Madrid.
The plan is to make Vinicius Jr the face of the Saudi Pro League, and for him to also be a key ambassador for their hosting of the 2034 World Cup.
