Vinicius Junior<\/a> would become the highest-paid player in Arsenal<\/a>\u2018s history if he completed a stunning transfer to the Premier League champions.<\/p>\n

Talk of the superstar Brazilian joining Arsenal intensified over the weekend after David Ornstein confirmed the Gunners are exploring a move.<\/p>\n

It would be the biggest signing, name-wise, in the Premier League for several years. But Arsenal would need to break the bank to get their man.<\/p>\n

On top of the not-unsubstantial transfer fee, Vinicius earns over \u00a3400,000 per week at Real Madrid when converted from euros into pounds. That is over \u00a3100,000 more than Bukayo Saka, Arsenal\u2019s current highest-earner.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a full breakdown of every player in Arsenal\u2019s squad and how much they earn in wages compared to Vinicius at Madrid.<\/p>\n
