Arsenal views Vinicius as one of the biggest potential signings in Premier League history, not just for his talent but because he is a "marketing cannon" in the world's most-marketed league.

Crucially, the move has escalated to the highest levels of the club. Arsenal's ownership has already approved the financial figures required for the operation, including the player's potential salary and the estimated transfer fee Real Madrid might demand this summer to avoid losing him for free next year.

Arsenal is reportedly willing to break their existing salary limits and structures to sign him.

To entice him, the club is prepared to offer a "signing bonus" (prima de fichaje) and potentially lucrative arrangements regarding his image rights.

Despite this strong relationship, the club is currently resisting Vinicius's request for a "renewal bonus". The club fears a situation where other stars, like Jude Bellingham, might demand similar bonuses in the future if they grant one to Vinicius.

While the club's financial structure is at odds with the player's current demands, Pérez's personal loyalty and history with Vinicius are the primary reasons a resolution is still being sought rather than an immediate sale.
