On 3 July 2023, at the age of 39, he announced his departure from Arka. He made a total of 259 appearances for the club and was the then-leading goalscorer in their history, with 63 goals.

Vinícius left the pitch after eight minutes, matching the number he wore throughout his Arka career, to a guard of honour from both teams, and was replaced by Karol Czubak, who later in the game equalled and surpassed Vinícius as Arka's all-time best scorer and celebrated the former achievement along with Vinícius by the bench.
