Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior underwent routine medical examinations on Monday, August 3, 2026, as the club began preparations for the new season amid continued speculation over his long-term future.
According to a Daily Post report, the 26-year-old Brazilian reported to Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training complex for pre-season medical assessments before joining his first training session under new head coach Jose Mourinho.
Vinicius remains a key player for the Spanish giants, but uncertainty over his future has persisted as contract negotiations with the club have reportedly continued for more than a year without a breakthrough. With his current deal nearing its expiration, several top European clubs are said to be monitoring his situation.
Arsenal have been linked with a potential move for the Brazil international as manager Mikel Arteta seeks to strengthen his attacking options. However, any transfer would rank among the most significant deals in European football, given Vinicius’ importance to Real Madrid.
Despite the speculation, the forward has remained focused on his preparations, working to regain peak fitness ahead of the upcoming campaign.
