Real Madrid reject Arsenal's Vinicius Junior interest after Mourinho intervention

Arsenal 's reported interest in Vinicius Junior appears unlikely to progress after new Real Madrid head coach Jose Mourinho reportedly made it clear that the Brazilian is not available for transfer as he begins rebuilding the Spanish giants ahead of the new season.

According to reports, Arsenal have identified Vinicius as a player of interest during the summer transfer window as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen a squad aiming to defend its Premier League title and challenge again for the UEFA Champions League after last season's runners-up finish.
