Arsenal assistant coach Miguel Molina confirmed that the club's coaching staff discussed signing Vinicius Junior during the summer transfer window. The Real Madrid superstar became a serious target for Arsenal when his contract negotiations with the Spanish giants faced difficulties. Arsenal saw an opportunity to acquire one of football's biggest talents and considered a significant financial move for the Brazilian winger. However, Vinicius Junior ultimately signed a new long-term contract with Real Madrid, ending Arsenal's pursuit. Molina explicitly stated that Vinicius Junior's name "was on the table." The 26-year-old forward scored 22 goals and provided 14 assists in 53 appearances for Real Madrid last season. Molina also praised Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's intense work ethic and ability to inspire both players and staff, highlighting his commitment to the club. Molina, in his seventh season with Arsenal, previously worked at Atlético Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.
