According to reports from England, Arsenal are preparing the biggest contract in the club's history in an ambitious attempt to sign Brazilian winger Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid during the current summer transfer window.
The Telegraph reports that Arsenal view Vinicius as the ideal signing to strengthen Mikel Arteta's long-term project and are ready to offer a salary that exceeds his current weekly wage of £400,000.
