Vinicius Junior Mulls Over Record-Breaking Saudi Move Worth Over €1 Billion
Real Madrid’s star forward, Vinicius Junior, has become the latest target in Saudi Arabia’s ambitious drive to bolster its footballing profile.
Sources close to the Brazilian sensation reveal that he is considering an eye-watering offer exceeding one billion euros from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF).
The proposed deal, still in its preliminary stages, reportedly includes a five-year contract worth around €200 million per season, along with significant bonuses.
Additionally, the offer includes a separate 10-year agreement for Vinicius to serve as an ambassador for the 2034 World Cup, set to be hosted by Saudi Arabia.
However, the specifics of this ambassadorial role are still under discussion.
While Vinicius is currently content at Real Madrid, the magnitude of the Saudi offer has prompted him and his representatives to take it seriously.
Although no formal proposal has been made, the 24-year-old has given the green light for PIF to approach Real Madrid, signaling his openness to exploring the move.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, seems reluctant to entertain any transfer talks. The club is firmly committed to keeping their prized forward, who is under contract until 2027 with a staggering one-billion-euro buy-out clause.
The club’s stance underscores Vinicius’s importance to their future plans, especially after his instrumental role in securing a Champions League and LaLiga double last season.
Saudi Arabia’s relentless pursuit of footballing excellence has seen them lure global stars like Neymar, Karim Benzema, and Cristiano Ronaldo to their league.
Vinicius could be the next big name to join this growing list, as Al Ahli, one of the country’s top clubs, eagerly awaits his decision.
