Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr has appeared to delete all his photos and story highlights from his Instagram account as rumours of his future only increase.

The Brazilian superstar’s future at the Bernabéu is currently in doubt with Premier League champions Arsenal looking to spend big this summer to bring him to the club.

Dozens of fans on social media noticed the sudden removal of photos, including the profile pic, on Vinicius Jr’s account.

No details have come out from the winger about why he deleted his photos but it comes as rumours Real Madrid are set to offer him an improved contract.

It comes as ESPN reported that Real Madrid would demand a transfer fee of 150million euros for Vinicius Jr. However, it is believed that the Gunners are looking to bid around £128million.

The 26-year-old Brazil international recently spoke about the new Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho, who has returned for a second spell at the club.

Vinicius Jr said The Special One told him to remain “happy”, “joyful” and to just play his football as he attempts to thrash out his future.

He said: “It has gone very well, getting to know the new coach and the new players and training very hard.

“Mourinho wants me to be as I have always been: happy, joyful and to play my football.
